The course combines theological and theoretical reflection with skill development and group-process workshops. It begins to develop a set of core person-centred practices aimed at I-Thou engagement that emphasise the restoration of self-awareness and the enriching of dialogical relationships. 900.515 Foundations A Jane Hepburn LR3 (6 Mar; 10 Apr; 15 May; 12 Jun)	This course aims to integrate and apply theological reflection, providing opportunities for learners to develop skills for working with biblical texts in appropriate leadership, church, mission, or community contexts. 215.515 Beginning Theology Ian Waddington LR2
