The Beaulieu Institute for Theological Literacy is a centre for resourcing and exploration, rooted in the principles of Catholic education and formation. It looks to combine expert theological, philosophical and ethical pedagogy with wider research and practice in education in the context of schools, colleges and parishes. BITL will be offering the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies course (CCRS) from March 2018. This is a UK-accredited course in Catholic theology and its application in Religious Education and Catechesis in primary and secondary schools and parishes. Often run in universities as part of Education degrees and Initial Teacher Training programmes, it is a valuable asset for all teachers and educators of any faith or none, because of its usefulness on a CV, or as an understanding of the Catholic ethos of a school, and because it is regarded in the UK as an essential requirement for any teacher applying for senior management positions in Catholic education. However, the CCRS is also a course for anyone who wishes to engage with some of the big issues of life and how these have been wrestled within the tradition of Catholic thinking. The course will be delivered by experts from the UK. To find out more please email Dr Paul Rowan on: rowanp@bitl.org.je or visit: bitl.org.je
