Tuesday, 6 September 2005

Rome (Fides September) - The theology faculty of the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome is offering its 10th course of ongoing formation for men and women missionaries. The course consisting of a theological update on questions representing a challenge to missionary commitment and witness today, will run from 19 September to 9 December and is structured in the same way as a university semester although students are not required to present a high-school certificate. The course is for missionaries with experience in the field and who are open to new theological approaches in this area. However anyone interested in knowing more about missionary activity may take part. In the morning, five days a week, students will attend lessons given by university teachers many with missionary experience themselves. The afternoon programme will include seminars, in depth study, sharing missionary experience, visits to religious places of interest in and around Rome. In December students will be invited to participate in a pilgrimage of theological support to the Holy Land.
The courses will focus on four areas: anthropology, history, theology, pastoral. Previous courses registered average of 65 students men and women religious of about 40 different institutes of consecrated life, fidei donum priests and lay people from all over the world and working in various parts of the globe.
