the margaret beaufort institute of theology
Cambridge
As a lay Catholic Institute in the heart of Cambridge and part of the Cambridge
Theological Federation, we resource lay people theologically both within and
outside of the Catholic tradition. We provide specialist theological education
and open learning opportunities for both individuals and groups. We offer
courses, study days, workshops, seminars and conferences that promote the study
of theology, ethics, philosophy, pastoral practice, spirituality and theological
reflection in dynamic ways that seek to meet and address twenty-first century
global needs. In line with our foundational principles, we continue to promote
the resourcing of women through a community life that is open to all. Through
our teaching and learning we facilitate exchange with art, culture and social
justice initiatives. We resource schools, parishes, hospitals, prisons and other
institutions with expertise, training and pastoral support. Our theology engages
with different professional and community-based (service) needs and
perspectives. This is enriched and enabled by an interdisciplinary approach that
is at the heart of our educational work
