Gordon Divinity School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gordon Divinity School was a divinity school established in 1889. It is now known as the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
It was originally founded by Adoniram Judson Gordon. Assisting him was James M. Gray.[1] Gordon called the school the Boston Bible and Missionary Training School. It was based in the basement of the Clarendon Street Church, a Baptist church in Boston, Massachusetts, and shared Gordon's concern for missions abroad and in New England urban centers. Upon his death, the institution was given his name. The Gordon Divinity School eventually moved to Boston's North Shore community of Wenham.
In 1969, the school merged with the Conwell School of Theology to become the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.[2]
