April’s SEI Newsletter focuses on issues of equality, diversity and inclusion. Along with their sister Theological Education Institutions across the UK, SEI is being encouraged to examine where its practice might reveal injustice in relation to gender, disability, race and class, and to develop more inclusive pedagogies.
This edition describes how such policies are being worked out in relation to the discernment of candidates, the support of students with particular learning differences, and the theological resources they are offered during their formation.
It also describes two curates’ responses to a recent Durham webinar, and a newly published Anglican Communion resource reflecting voices from the majority world.
Other articles comprise a description of ongoing work in the field of inclusive liturgy, a projected webinar with fellow students in Brazil, the inclusion of Deacons in a recently run module, and a pictorial account of March’s SEI residential weekend – in which those absent with Covid were, yes, ingeniously ‘included’.
The Newsletter is available here.
