Thinking about theological study? Wondering what formation at Emmanuel might look like? Join us for our Experience Day on Friday 8th November — a chance to step inside life at the college. Your next step might just begin here. #EmmanuelTheoColl #ExperienceDay

Our college residential has been a time to pause, pray, and grow together. Special thanks to The Rt Revd Lusa Nsenga-Ngoy, Bishop of Bishop of Willesden for leading our reflections during the Quiet Day and to Ross Hendry, Director of CARE for delivering the Lecture on Sunday.

Hear one of our students share how their time at Emmanuel has shaped them, not just in theology, but in faith, character, and calling. The start of the new academic year is nearly here. It’s not too late to explore what’s possible. Formation begins with a ‘yes.’

Introducing our brand-new Youth & Children’s Ministry Programme — designed to equip, inspire, and empower those called to serve the next generation. Find out more: emmanueltheologicalcollege.org.uk/youth-ministry/

"‘Just do it – you won’t regret it!’ Hear from one of our amazing graduates as they share how the course shaped their faith, calling, and confidence in ministry. Whether you're discerning a new direction or looking to go deeper in your discipleship, this could be your next step.

Exciting news for Leah and for Sheffield diocese today. Leah has been a fantastic placement supervisor for students being formed for Ministry @EmmanuelTheoCol and we’ll miss her wise and patient investment in future leaders #ChristCentred #HopeFilled #MissionOrientated

Dismayed to see you sharing such a misleading & potentially deeply frightening video, Kim. If someone is in 'unspeakable pain' at the end of life, they should see a palliative care doctor like me - & I can promise you there is always something I can do for your pain. (1/n)

An honour to have my IQ questioned by you Mr VP. But your attempts to speak for Christ are false and dangerous. Nowhere does Jesus suggest that love is to be prioritized in concentric circles. His love is universal. 🧵

Hi @TheAA_UK I’ve been sitting at the roadside waiting for vehicle recovery for over 4 hours following an RTA this evening. I was initially told within 2 hours. Now the Accident Assist says another 60 minutes. Is this normal???

@urbandibley Solidarity!

@leydenmichael Me too

I always love this season of morning prayer, mostly because I hear the opening line of The Song of God’s Glorious Name in a London east-end accent, “Oh Lord our gov’na, how glorious is your name in all the world”.

@robmerchant @LincolnHarvey Is there a finer voice in all of England?!

@leydenmichael This, and I hear it in the voice of a certain London priest who writes rather well on the Trinity…. @LincolnHarvey

@CharlieGLusaka Yes!

@leydenmichael Qv also Matt 3.17: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".
