Dr David Coffey on Humanity
Religious studies should be dialogues not monologues. You need to enrol with others in discussions and dialogue, and the CMCS courses provide this. They include a very special combination of people from
different religious backgrounds and cultures, who enrich the discussion and help gaining knowledge and opening eyes to new perspectives. Moreover, the follow-up from the lecturers gives you the chance to develop your skills personally.

Our vision is to see Muslim and Christian relationships transformed through shared academic study and by following the example of Christ.
