Story of a callingWe often hear the word "calling" used to refer to the strong sense of being directed by God to pursue a certain vocation, especially ministry. But how does that call occur? Talk to enough people who have experienced it, and you will realise that it is unique to the individual. In this blog post, Wycliffe graduate Philip Stonhouse relates the story of how his own calling led him out of a full-time acting career, into theological education, and on to ministry.

Wanda Malcolm writes of her time teaching a course at Cairo's Alexandria School of Theology that, "unlike many of the Christians who live in Egypt, I did not ever personally feel unsafe or at risk."

Faculty Sermons on Exodus - Winter 2017This Winter term the faculty preached on portions of the Book of Exodus. It is a form of liturgical preaching. Portions of the book were selected to reflect the two seasons of the church year we will be in this academic term, Epiphany and Lent. Thus, during the season of Epiphany faculty preached on portions of Exodus having to do with ways God was manifest to Israel. During Lent faculty preached on portions of the book which follow Israel in the wilderness. |

Songs of Scripture - Faculty Sermons - Fall 2016On Thursday mornings at Wycliffe it is customary for the faculty to preach in a series that goes through the term. Sometimes we preach on a given book of Scripture, like Jeremiah; sometimes it is on some key aspect of the Christian life, like vocation. This term, we will be preaching on the biblical “canticles”, that is, on those parts of Scripture we know to be songs: the Song of Moses at the Red Sea in Exodus 15, the so-called “Magnificat” or Song of Mary from Luke, and so on. |
