Research

A great deal of thinking goes on around the churches about the future of ministry and mission, and about the future of theological education. Some of that thinking is going on in formal projects or in groups or institutions dedicated to such exploration. Much of it, however, is simply going on as practitioners think hard, and work together and individually to develop their practice and respond to their contexts - improvising on what has gone before and reflecting seriously as they do so. 

Our aim in the Common Awards Research Network is to identify some of the most important themes that are being explored in this thinking around the churches and the Theological Education Institutions (TEIs), and to gather groups of people from the churches, the TEIs, and the university sector with an interest in those themes.
