Engaging the Curriculum 1993 - 2000: bulletins 1-7

Report

Following the identification in the Church Colleges Research Project [report 1986] of the importance attached to seeing the Church colleges as places where Christian insights should be applied to the curriculum as a whole, in 1993 the Anglican colleges along with their Free Church and Roman Catholic counterparts launched the Engaging the Curriculum project.
The Archbishop of York [Dr John Habgood] gave the keynote at the opening conference which was attended by most of the college principals along with senior staff . The level of seriousness and the significance attached to the launch were seen at the time as very encouraging signs. Culham was the driving force both in relation to funding and to the operation of the project.

During the next three years, work continued both in developing the various strands and through these seven bulletins which recorded the progress of the project. Three national conferences were convened bringing together the participants from each of the three strands [spirituality, English literature and sociology] and the resultant papers were published by Cassells under the series title Theology in Dialogue. A fourth area of work on science and religion was published separately by Culham. The project was completed in 2000 and has not been superseded by anything comparable since then.
