Theological education combines spiritual formation and placements for mature students in the United Reformed Church, highlighting reflective practice.
Theological education for ordained ministry in the URC reflects its non-conformist roots evolving from dissenting academies to today’s Resource Centres for Learning. It combines Durham University’s Common Awards with spiritual formation, worship, and placements. Most candidates are second-career mature students. In Scotland, training aligns with university divinity faculties. Post-ordination support and ecumenical, reflective practice are key to the URC’s communal approach.
