Issues Facing the Church Today
Issues Facing the Church Today is an online course taken over three months, using Cliff College's online learning platform.
The church, like any other community, faces a broad range of issues in the contemporary world. In this course, Issues Facing the Church Today, students are introduced to basic approaches to Christian ethics and public theology. These approaches are used to explore a number of key issues that dominate the church’s discourse, including power and its abuse, race, relationships and sexuality, health and wellbeing, and climate sustainability. Students will reflect on how these can be approached and addressed in mission and ministry today.
Issues Facing the Church Today is an online course, with learning elements including written content, short videos, discussion boards and online exercises. You will also be encouraged to pursue independent study, using resources provided, to reflect on your development in ministry and prepare for an assessment.

This course will be available from January 2024 - the start date will be confirmed closer to the time.
