What is the SAT Sabbatical?

Sabbatical at SAT has pioneered a unique program which integrates theological insight with the ordinary dimensions of human experience.  We invite leading presenters from the GTU Schools and other institutions in the area to come to SAT and synthesize the best of contemporary thought in their fields of expertise.  They share their insights in modular units of learning which are presented to the entire SAT group.  This common learning experience increases the capacity of SAT participants to explore and share on a deeper level.

Modular scheduling provides the possibility for greater exposure to a wide variety of topics and issues.  Moreover, it gives the program greater flexibility and the ability to offer some events in response to the request of a specific group.  Sensitive to the maturity of SAT participants, presenters encourage participants to integrate new material by responding to a reflection question applied to their own experience.

We offer modules of eight to twenty hours in systematic theology and scripture as well as diverse opportunities to enrich one's self-understanding and spirituality.  The curriculum for a typical year at SAT offers a variety and exciting options for study.
