Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology

Description

As a lay Catholic Institute in the heart of Cambridge and part of the Cambridge Theological Federation, the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology resources lay people theologically both within and outside of the Catholic tradition. It provides specialist theological education and open learning opportunities for both individuals and groups.

The Institute offers courses, study days, workshops, seminars and conferences that promote the study of theology, ethics, philosophy, pastoral practice, spirituality and theological reflection in dynamic ways that seek to meet and address twenty-first century global needs. In line with its foundational principles, it continues to promote the resourcing of women through a community life that is open to all. Through teaching and learning it facilitates exchange with art, culture and social justice initiatives. The Institute resources schools, parishes, hospitals, prisons and other institutions with expertise, training and pastoral support. The Institute’s theology engages with different professional and community-based (service) needs and perspectives. This is enriched and enabled by an interdisciplinary approach that is at the heart of its educational work. Many of the Institute's students gain qualifications from the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University.
