Leading the Awareness Course

 

What is the Awareness Course?

The Awareness Course is an adult education programme that equips people for life in a diverse world, examining issues that affect every one of us, such as fundamentalism, the impact of globalisation around the world, and secularism. Participants learn to live without fear and without feeling that they have to compromise their own beliefs. The course is Christian, celebrating our common ground with Judaism and Islam and respecting our differences.quote
