Religious Studies Trip to Stormont Hotel

3rd Mar 2016
Religious Studies Trip to Stormont Hotel

The Religious Studies AS students joined Miss Burns on what was a theologically stimulating AS Level event organised by Trinity College, Dublin and led by the Loyala Institute. Students were academically challenged while engaging in university style lectures considering the many ethical dilemmas which present themselves in today’s ever changing society from abortion to homeosexuality. The second part of the day explored Luke’s Gospel and in particular, the parables and miracles reflecting on their relevance and teachings for today’s reader.

The students found these lectures both engaging and useful and for many, it provoked further thought and discussion about their own views on these controversial topics. The talk on Trinity College also provided students with an opportunity to consider options for further study, both in Ireland and elsewhere, after their time at St Mary’s High School.
