Australian College of Theology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian College of Theology, a partnership of the Anglican Church of Australia and the affiliated theological institutions, was established in 1891 by the then General Synod of the Church of England in Australia. Its headquarters are located in Sydney, New South Wales
In 1899, there were four awards of the College - the Associate in Theology, the Licentiate in Theology, the Scholar in Theology, and the Fellow of the College of Theology - and about 30 students.
Today the College offers a wide range of accredited higher education awards catering not only for the specialised needs of ministerial and missionary candidates but also for the needs of lay people interested in an understanding of the Christian faith and its implications for contemporary life.
There are currently almost 20 higher education awards on offer. Approximately 2000 students are currently enrolled and studying in the affiliated colleges and with the college itself.
