The women's group invites women from all backgrounds and ages to join us for soup, study, prayer, and fellowship. While we frequently explore essays by female Anglo-Catholic theologians, we occasionally venture into other inspiring or exciting topics. To express your interest, please contact ruth.danstal@gmail.com.

‘Devote yourself above all to the reading of the divine Scriptures’ instructed Origen, a master exegete of the early Church.  In Michaelmas Term we will work through a number of excerpts from Origen’s writings, seeking (orthodox) insights from Scripture (the Song of Songs and Numbers) sharing our inspiration as we go.  We will meet in the Library on Mondays, 6.30 – 8.00pm from Mon 6th Oct (0^th Week) to Mon 17th Nov (6^th Week).  No knowledge of Church history or theology is assumed. For more information, contact Russell Jefford at info@ordinarytheology.com
