As part of my project for the parish is the testing of a theology adult education based course. The list at the moment looks like this, with:

7. Hans Kung - all rounder
8. Modern theologians - summary
9. Traditionalisms from the past (eg Thomist theology, Anselm, Puritans, etc.)
10. Victorian Oxford Movement and after
11. Victorian Evangelicalism and after
12. Essays and Reviews

25. Movements summary
    
    
26. Theological issues for the future

This also takes on board feedback made here and by email to me.

There is a presentation paper that I remembered and thus spoke about rather than read, and it contained a mistake about 'each week' when, of course, the 26 would last some two years. This error has been corrected to 'each session'. I did read out the list as above. This presentation followed the In Depth Group discussion, a flavour of which I also give without identifying participants or connecting anyone's thoughts except my own. The webpage is on the Pluralist website at Learning - Religion - Anglican and then scroll down to In-Depth Group Discussion and Paper (June 2008) .
