College of The Resurrection - Ecumenism

Ecumenism

The college has had a long relationship with other Christian faiths, accepting students from many denominations outside of the Anglican Communion. Here are some examples:

  • An annual scholarship for graduate students of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
  • Student exchanges between Resurrection and the Lutheran Theological Institute in Sibiu.
  • Helping to found the Romanian Orthodox parish of Saint Macarios the Great, Mirfield, in 2004.
  • Accepting students from the Lutheran Church of Sweden.
  • Accepting both Roman Catholic seminarians and Methodist students for ordination on exchange visits from their own colleges..
  • Accepting students and priests from the Oriental Orthodox Church.
  • Working closely with the Armenian Apostolic Church.

In the early 1990s, a not inconsiderable number of recent former students became Roman Catholics (following the path of a former principal, Fr Denys Lloyd) in response to liberal developments in the C of E.
