The vision of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies can be expressed by the image of roots and wings . The intention of our learning programmes is to enable you to find deep roots as well as strong wings.
Roots refer to a person s grounding in a particular church, faith, culture, language, and history.
It also implies detailed knowledge of the particular tradition out of which one comes. Our courses are intended to help you discover and develop this sense of personal, cultural and religious identity . This implies knowledge of other communities, flowing from the skills of conversation and research. It is said that angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly. The image of flying does suggest that we should not make ourselves and our cultures the measure of all things.
