TM213.5/ TM113.5 Worship and Liturgy

TM213.5 is level two for ordinands and other students with permission to study at level two while TM113.5 is the Certificate level one version of this course. The primary differences are in the module descriptions and the assessment.

What is this Module all about?

The class is taught at a mixed University Level One and Two. It is recommended that ministerial students have done S1 Introduction to Leading Worship Saturday workshop or have had some Liturgy experience as a prerequisite. The subject is studied in a broadly academic environment acknowledging the various methods of modern scholarship but with a view to understanding how this greater knowledge can enhance our own worship as well as the worship we lead.

At level two TM213.5 provides an introduction to worship, the sacraments, baptism, varying Anglican services, the Christian Year and the Lectionary. For ministerial students it will be followed by the sessions on the Eucharist on Sundays at residentials in the third year.

At level one TM113.5 provides an introduction to worship, the sacraments, baptism, varying Anglican services, the Christian Year and the Lectionary. Click here for:
