Opening lines

Today was induction day for my course. Its felt a strange weekend. My son left to start his degree course today at the sametime as I was starting in Sheffield at the Urban Theology Unit (UTU). The induction was very comprehensive. All courses met on the same day and it was good to share in the experiences of the students who have already been through this.The people on the course with me come from varied backgrounds - I am looking forward to learning from all directions. The Foundation element will be on Monday afternoon and evening - the Masters (if I get accepted on the course) will be on Tuesday evenings. Although the day was very administrative and informative UTU seems a very supportive environment. The staff are very helpful and careful to ensure that the ethos is stressed - a safe place to share the learning experience together.
I shared my objective of really making the most of this first year to explore how God's calling for me will be fulfilled. A fantastic opportunity that I am determined to make the most of.
