I\u2019m glad to announce that Ridley Melbourne has launched The Ridley Certificate<\/a> which is a fully integrated\u00a0on-line\u00a0<\/span>multi-media \u00a0course designed for interested students, lay people, and church groups to grow in their knowledge of the Bible, Christian service, and theological doctrine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the promo video:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/iframe>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">The certificate has some great units such as \u201cBible Overview,\u201d \u201cMinistry Skills,\u201d \u201cChristian Beliefs,\u201d \u00a0\u201c1 Corinthians,\u201d and \u201cApologetics\u201d to name a few. It also has some great teachers including Brian Rosner, Michael Raiter, \u00a0Andrew Reid, Tim Foster, Jill Firth, and others (I\u2019m down to do some modules in the near future). It is only $95 per module and you can do the entire course for less than the cost of doing a single diploma unit in most Australian theological colleges. It is also open to everyone everywhere, interstate and international, and is ideal for church groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly I\u2019m biased, but the Ridley Certificate is best thing I\u2019ve seen in lay theological education and it is a great of testing the waters if you are thinking about entering into theological studies.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m glad to announce that Ridley Melbourne has launched The Ridley Certificate which is a fully integrated\u00a0on-line\u00a0multi-media \u00a0course designed for interested students, lay people, and church groups to grow in their knowledge of the Bible, Christian service, and theological doctrine.
