On 11th January we hosted our first postgraduate seminar on Zoom where two of our Masters graduates each gave a 20-minute presentation of the findings from their dissertations. There was a question-and-answer time after each presentation. Mariana Passos explored practices that can help Christians stay connected with God and with the body of Christ during the Covid pandemic. Paul Bowman’s presentation focused on various self-care practices and support strategies that may aid leaders serving in churches in Ireland. 

The seminar was a great success and very well attended by past and present MA students and teachers. It provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their dissertation research with a wider audience. The feedback we received afterwards was very encouraging and positive.
