Certificate ceremony 2023

The first annual awards ceremony of 2023 took place 26 May, the second on 8 June. Here we celebrated the class of 2022. Students completed their learning adventures with Coram Deo in one of two advanced courses offered in Pastoral Narrative Therapy and Practitioner Supervision.

The little photos we share don’t do justice to the larger number of students across the country studying directly with Coram Deo in Pretoria or online, or from various partner organisations. Our mission is to spread hope by raising hope-collaborators. These students go back to their communities to do just that. It does not matter whether they actually become counsellors or auxiliary community workers in churches or simply are now better (more sustainably) equipped as managers, leaders, hair dressers, teachers, parents to collaborate on preferred hopeful stories of those they encounter every day.

Upcoming (Ceremony 8 June)

Most students attend the internal Coram Deo ceremony.

Alumni, and what’s next?

Students who completed any of the advanced programmes are considered Alumni of Coram Deo. If you are not receiving our Alumni letter please email us here. We encourage them to remain active and also make a small monthly contribution to help us continue our work of hope-collaboration. Over the years this has become known as our Seeds of Hope campaign whereby contributing individuals and organisation can also lower their taxes. Also when we consider our own community work we look to the pool of Alumni first to collaborate with. Or, for their own doing-good projects or ministries Coram Deo becomes a resource of helpers.

For Supervision of Combined Third-Year (SUP & CPD) students:

  • Take out one of the memberships we offer to continue on your journey for a small monthly fee: https://forms.gle/ghY2nKp1nYp23rgM9
  • Any of the memberships also allow free participation in our Coram Care meetups.

For the PNT students (Advanced Programme in Pastoral Narrative Therapy):

Carry on with the pastoral and narrative practitioner journey: For those interested in going into counselling or help out in formal community structures or simply actively want to put into practice what they have learned (which we hope is everyone).

  • Enroll for the Combined Third-Year / Practitioner Supervision Programme.
  • Take out the relevant donation based membership to redo any part of (or the entire) PNT programme.
  • A university postgraduate diploma in theology (at UP) is an option for those with an existing B-degree or who have successfully gone through an RPL process. The possibility of an RPL process is something that students should take up directly with the university (likely to be directed at the head of Department for Practical Theology). They will look at a wide variety of aspects which include work experience (especially if related to the intended course of action), other learning events and courses, acknowledge the Coram Deo programmes or other aspects they deem relevant.
