A 3D Course in every Deanery?
15 March 2007

We aim to have at least one 3D group in each Deanery for the course that begins in September.

The Birmingham Diocesan course for Developing Disciples is our main foundation for lay education and further development. Please contact us to discuss the best local venues for 3D so that the course can be offered in every Deanery this autumn.

You find the venues – we find the tutors. The Ministries Forum will recruit and train the volunteer tutors (but do tell us if you know someone who might be suitable – we are looking for both biblical knowledge and small-group teaching skills).

Don’t delay – we plan in April !    Brochures and enrolment forms go out in May.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE FLEXIBLE?

For people who just want to put their toe in the water, or to take the 3D course more slowly, we now offer 3D in short blocks. This begins with a 6-week course and then (if people decide to carry on) there are further blocks arranged to suit the group.

SOME PEOPLE NOT READY FOR 3D YET?

MIRROR is a pack of life and bible reflections, designed in tabloid style for small informal groups.

UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIANITY provides 10 sessions of short talks and group discussions, ideal for sharing with other churches in the Deanery. You could use it as a ‘2D’ course to build confidence and interest for a 3D course later on.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of lay adult education and training, please contact the Adviser – Liz Howlett    Tel: 0121 426 20400, email: l.howlett@birmingham.anglican.org
