Abstract

The basis of this paper is a study that examines the experiences of a group of participants who followed the Exploring Faith programme developed in the Diocese of Bangor; the unique feature of this course is that it is linked with and leads to a higher educational qualification, the BA in Theology for Discipleship and Ministry at Glyndŵr University. This paper presents a picture of the experiences of three individuals who completed the programme; two of whom emerged with the full degree and one with the Diploma. Two are now clergy and one remains in the ranks of the laity but is an active member in a developing Ministry Area. The research instrument employed to elicit the data was a semi-structured interview. The interviews reveal that the participants have a confidence in expressing their faith, a clear view of their journey of faith and of the vocation they are following and insights into lay theological education both for themselves and for others in church.
