[edit] History

Wycliffe Hall was set up in 1877 as a centre for training Christian leaders, and is named after the religious leader, John Wycliffe. It became an official part of the university in 1996. It is a centre for evangelical Anglican study in the University of Oxford. As part of its joining with the University, Wycliffe Hall now also offers courses in academic theology, and has a limited number of both undergraduates and postgraduates. It was established alongside Ridley Hall, Cambridge as a pair of theological colleges with an expressly evangelical ethos. ^[1]
