Galleries, world-class theatre, music from every corner of the globe. New York offers so many unexpected moments of beauty and wonder. And destruction and decay. Students participating in this certificate and cohort begin their journey in this milieu in the hopes to understand better how God is alive and working to redeem and rehumanize the cultural mecca that is New York City. We begin in New York and continue with theological study that further prepares you to explore the multitude of theological issues we face today in relation to our ever-evolving culture. The culminating course and discussion asks every participant to consider in light of their studies, what their vocation is - what God has called you to do, to be.

This summer a group of students, staff, and faculty from FullerTheological Seminary will sojourn to the quaint hilltop town of Orvieto, Italy. There they will live and study as a community in the historic San Lodovico Convent. The program will include daily course gatherings, trips to a variety of medieval religious and artistic sites in Orvieto, as well as day trips to other cities in the surrounding area. By offering these classes in Italy, students will be immersed in Italian culture, both present and past, giving them the opportunity to delve deeply and holistically into the course material . Professors William Dyrness, Richard Peace and Christopher Slatoff will lead the two courses which will take place June 17-30, 2012. For more details about the trip and the planned itinerary, please click here.
There are limited number of spots still available. If you are interested in going, please contact Kathleen Tiemubol at kathleen@fuller.edu or 626.304.3725.
Please note: Due to the overwhelming popularity of this trip and the large number of interested students, priority will be given to students taking both courses for credit.
Every year a group of students from Fuller Theological Seminary descend upon the Sundance Film Festival to take part in a course offered by Fuller Theological Seminary in partnership with the Windrider Forum.
Fuller students at any campus will have to register through our Colorado campus. To find out more information on the course, click here.
In a past issue, Relevant Magazine wrote an article on our Sundance course with a wonderful description of what we do at the Sundance Film Festival and why we do it - to engage "with culture-makers of the cinema in a community of believers."
June 20-30, 2011
This coming summer, the Brehm Center and Fuller Theological Seminary will offer an educational experience immersed in the rollling green hills of Ireland.
Join us as we wander amongst sacred sites dotting the Irish countryside studying the birthplace of celtic monastic spirituality that still today have a significant influence on our worship practices. Study the life and ministry of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick, as we look to him as a model for evangelism in contemporary culture. Worship God through contemplative prayer and song in cloisterd spaces and under the wide canopy of Irish sky. Examine the rich imagery and symbolism of Celtic crosses.
During our stay, we will visit the city of Dublin, where we will explore the city and spend time with the ancient Book of Kells at Trinity College. We will also take time to wander the Irish countryside to visit places like Monasterboice with its cluster of Celtic crosses and Mellifont Abbey, a ruined 12th-century Cistercian monastery. During the second half of the trip, we will journey to Belfast in Northern Ireland to look at contemporary evangelism inspired by the life and ministry of Saint Patrick.
