How can we convince Welsh universities theology is worth teaching?

Opportunities to study theology at Wales’s eight universities are getting rarer.

Cardiff University’s announcement on 27 May that it will go ahead with its cost-saving plan to scrap theology means that the subject will move towards the periphery of Welsh academia.

Cardiff’s controversial decision comes at a time when the University of Wales Trinity St David decided to close its 200 year old humanities campus, moving its theology teaching to Carmarthen in a bid to save money.
