Signs of God News

Seven students who completed the Church Colleges' Certificate in Ministry were awarded their certificates by University of Chester's Vice-Chancellor  Canon Professor Tim Wheeler.

CCCM is a course run in partnership by the University of Chester and the Church of England.  The course, delivered by Signs of God, is taught in BSL by Deaf and hearing tutors and relies heavily on visual material and interective learning. All the students' assessments may be in BSL and several of the assessments are carried out via group discussion, one-to-one interviews and group activities such as drama.

In 2008 I was funded by my church to attend the Signs of God Summer School.  Although the primary aim of the event was to assist people using British Sign Language in a church setting, we were also fortunate to have lectures from the tutors on other relevant topics, not least from Raymond Abernethy on his mission work abroad.  Hearing about how cruelly the Chinese Christians were treated in prison had a profound impact on me.

Gill still has a few of our popular conference style bags with the Signs of God logo and strapline.


These are for sale at 6GBP each plus 1.50GBP postage and packing.

Signs of God held its most recent AGM in London on Saturday 18th July 2009.

This meeting reported on the work of Signs of God from April 2008 to March 2009.

Signs of God core team members attended from around the country and discussed a range of issues, including inviting a number of new Deaf and hearing members to join the core team.  See the About Us pages for details of 'who's who'!

Of course, the discussion included our events from this year, including of course our extremely successful 2008 Summer School.
