Accredited Courses
St Mellitus’ Certificate, Foundation Degree and BA Hons. Degree courses are open to independent students as well as ordinands and readers. If you are interested in exploring your faith more deeply, but don’t feel called to ordination or any other ‘full-time’ ministry, you can still study theology and ministry with us at St Mellitus. You can either do this at St Paul’s Theological Centre on Monday mornings or Wednesday evenings, or with North Thames Ministerial Training Course on Tuesday evenings in east London or Thursday evenings in Chelmsford. Unlike ordinands and readers, independent students only study during weekdays and one non-residential study week per year.

Graham Tomlin, Mike Lloyd and Jane Williams discuss theology and life with a slice of humour.
Never has been it more urgent for Christians to give a reason for the faith that is within them. In the midst of the conflict between literalism in religion and the disintegrating world view, the appeal of mature biblical faith is very clear
In my view this is the most interesting and important thing that is happening in British theological education
