Module Indicative Content
This module offers an overview of practices and disciplines of Christian Spirituality, historical and contemporary, and encourages engagement with these examples or others as a means to sustain personal faith and inspire and inform practice. The module will not simply require students to know about spiritual practices but through experiential learning asks them to grow in your own fluency in engaging in spiritual practices and enabling others to do so.
