Course overview

With the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches experiencing an unprecedented drop in the number of attendees, many individuals are seeking a more integrated and thorough knowledge of religion and the various forms that it takes.  This course aims to introduce the meaning of religion and explores why man may need to relate to a deity. It offers a comparison of all major religions and religious philosophies and gives guidance on spiritualism and its relevance to the New Age.
