New 'Errors' page...

Why do we want to publicise errors?

Users of the older style courses are well accustomed to finding errors of one sort or another in most of the home studies, and a considerable amount of care has been taken to eliminate these in the revamped editions (currently Life to the Full, Pure Gold and Life of Christ book 1). However, despite our best efforts, it's almost inevitable that a handful of errors has passed undetected, and the purpose of this page is to record all such errors, until corrections are made in subsequent print runs.

New editions of SEAN's core courses

SEAN UK has been working hard in the last few years to revamp its core material, bringing its quality and format right into the 21st century.

Already both pre-foundation courses – Life to the Full (previously Abundant Life) and Pure Gold (previously Abundant Light) – have been revamped and published, as also has Ephesians (previously Union with Christ).

And now (Oct 04)... the first foundation course – Life of Christ, Book 1 – is available in its new format.

SEAN-related book

Although Tony Barratt may have been one of the main authors of SEAN's TEE materials, many will be interested to know that Tony's wife, Peggy, has now written a book, Humming Bird Nest, published May 2003, which will be of considerable interest to those who'd like to know more about the Barratt family, not least for its look behind the scenes of early SEAN.

Here's what the back cover says...

Peggy Barratt, mother of five, lived with her husband Tony for thirty years in South America. These were the days of revolutions and.. read more

Forum No 6

It's not too late (quite) to submit articles or snippets for the next issue of Forum.


Evangelistic leaflets

These, too, have been revamped as part of SEAN UK's medium term programme to bring the core courses into the 21st century. How Can I Get to Know God? is not only part of the Life to the Full course, but it can also been used as a simple explanation of the Christian faith to enquirers and therefore ideal as a supplement to any enquirer course or programme.

Available in packs of 50 from the Catalogue & Order Form page.

SEAN UK NEWS

SEAN UK now operates as a separate body. Previously part of SEAN International, it became an independent charity in August 2003 with, broadly, a two-fold purpose – first, to develop and increase the use of TEE (SEAN's in particular) for discipleship and leadership training at grass roots level in the UK; second, to distribute English materials to overseas countries (just as SEAN International did previously), having taken over all the existing stock.

High on SEAN UK's agenda is to host more workshops around the UK, building on the recent series of successful workshops, in order to develop regional centres. Also, currently well under way, is the revamping of the main SEAN courses.

SEAN UK may be small, but its ideas are big – stay with us!

Don't the Leaders' Manuals provide enough training?

No matter how good the material, and no matter how keen the students, it is probably stating the obvious to say that a well trained tutor can add a great deal towards the success of any course.

Here, in SEAN UK, we are investing much time and effort into... (read more)

TEE programme for the Chinese in Europe

The Chinese Overseas Christian Mission has TEE material, including SEAN, which is of particular interest to the Chinese in Europe. These include SEAN materials in Chinese (in both simplified and the traditional Chinese scripts) - namely Abundant Life, Abundant Light, and Spirit World. The tutor's manuals are incorporated into the manuals for the main materials.

The Revd Edward Wei, Director of Training Chinese Overseas Christian Mission, can be contacted via email at COCMTrainingDepartment@cocm.org.uk - and the website of the Chinese Overseas Christian Mission is www.COCM.org.uk.

Other TEE Links

SEAN, despite being the main authoring body within popular level TEE, is not alone. On the Links page we are building up a list of other TEE-related sites. Please let us know of other sites - your own, or those known and/or discovered by you.


Setting up TEE groups

SEAN UK's mission is encourage much more grass roots TEE within the local church context.

Email us now, or write/phone/fax - we would love to hear from you.


Are you collecting the credits you're entitled to?

On the basis of these credits, the Extension College awards certificates and diplomas for different levels and amounts of study. Find out more.

Do you write grass roots TEE material?

We want www.sean.uk.net (that's here!) to act as a resource for many more taster materials and/or one-off Bible studies. So why not send in some? Perhaps you have a study or course that you would like field-tested? Or just an idea for one? Here's your opportunity to share in the community of TEE users who will value such a resource. Ideas? Comments?

NOTE... SEAN cannot garantee to place every submitted study it receives in this way. However, all studies which are sound and reflect thorough preparation will be carefully and prayerfully considered. If you have specific authoring skills, please make yourself known to SEAN.
