- The Awareness Course is the education programme of the Awareness Foundation. The course has been described as helping "Christians develop an informed response to the religious and cultural diversity around them by being centered in their faith and secure in their identity." It is co-written by retired bishop Michael Marshall and Nadim Nassar, who is the only Syrian priest in the Church of England. The Awareness Course has been taught in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine in the Middle East and in Hong Kong. Denominations offering the Awareness Course include the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Episcopal Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist churches, Middle Eastern Evangelical churches, and several charismatic evangelical churches in the UK. Teachers are known as "course leaders" and their role is primarily that of a facilitator and motivator rather than lecturer. (en)
