About CALMonline

CALMonline is a free online database of adult Christian courses, sources and resources in England and Wales.

It is aimed at learners, providers and those with responsibility for adult Christian learning, and for anyone else who wishes to use it.

The database contains details of more than 2000 courses, sources and resources relating to Christian adult learning in England and Wales. CALM has used a working definition of adult Christian learning, as follows:

Adult Christian learning is an activity undertaken in which the purpose in whole or in part is to improve or enhance the participants' knowledge, skills or personal qualities. Christian learning is that which is aimed at developing Christian faith, understanding and spirituality.

CALM has therefore sought to include courses from formal academic courses in Theology and Religious Studies through to parish and church-based Bible Studies and other learning groups.

CALM has also wanted to include resources for Christian adult learning, such as materials, videos and books, and the sources from which these can be obtained. Sources might also include trainers, consultancies and other agencies involved in Christian adult learning.

Information is given about the times, mode, level and duration of courses, as well as details for how to contact them. Where available, email addresses and websites have been included. In many cases these can be accessed direct from the database by clicking on the address given.

Disclaimer

Inclusion in the database does not imply endorsement by CALM or any of its members. The aim has been to gather the information together in one place and to make it available to anyone who wishes to use it as a useful, though not definitive, resource for planning or researching their own learning or programmes.

None of the information in the database has been checked or evaluated and users are advised to check the information with the organisations concerned.
