“I’ve discovered a love of learning that I never thought I would have.”

As they look back on their time at Queen’s, our leavers reflect on what makes this community so special: discovering new perspectives, exploring theology in fresh and exciting ways, growing in faith, and forming lifelong relationships.

At Queen’s, theology is more than what happens in the classroom. It is about being part of a diverse, supportive and ecumenical community where your perspectives can be challenged, and your faith deepened.

Whether you are discerning a call to ministry, looking to deepen your theological understanding, or simply curious to explore your faith more deeply, Queen’s might be the next chapter in your story.

Healing Retreat at Queen's

Earlier this month, we were delighted to welcome UKME/GMH persons engaged in theological education and racial justice work for a retreat on the theme "Resistance and Healing in Theological Education."

Led by the wonderful Mica Montana Gray, therapist and creative wellbeing practitioner, the two-day retreat created a thoughtful and restorative space for participants to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Through mindful listening, creative movement and play, poetry and creative writing, and a Communion service, participants were able to explore healing, resilience, and hope within the context of their work and ministry.

We are deeply grateful to Mica for her wisdom and gentle leadership, and to everyone who joined us for this enriching time together.

This retreat is an important component of Queen’s Empower Racial Justice Project, supported by the Church of England Racial Justice Fund. You can find out more at https://www.queens.ac.uk/racialjustice.

It was a privilege to welcome so many participants, both in person and online, for two days of thought-provoking conversation at our Racial Justice Conference: “Beyond Inclusion: Power, Cost and the Future of Theological Education”

Reflecting on the event, keynote speaker Dr Mabel Alkali, who shared powerful insights from her new research, expressed her gratitude to speakers, panellists and participants for their thoughtful engagement, the difficult but necessary conversations shared about the future of theological education, and the critical questions that were raised.

Our Deputy Director of Research and Anglican Tutor in Contextual Theology and Mission Studies, Dr Carlton Turner, said: “Queen's is a place that takes antiracism seriously, and I'm very pleased with the reach of the research and the conference. I also praise the hard work of Dr Mabel Alkali.”
