The College of the Resurrection is the only theological college in the Anglican Communion to share its life with a traditional monastic community. We are set in the grounds of our founding Community and continue to benefit from the teaching, spiritual direction and companionship in prayer offered by The Community of The Resurrection.
We exist to train people as deacons and priests to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and to celebrate that Good News in the sacraments. We hold dear the distinctive story of the Church of England and the ways in which her priests, having the cure of souls, care alike for of people of faith and for those without religious conviction. We prepare people for attending to the needs of each and we foster and delight in the ways our students witness to God’s goodness and generosity in their own lives.
Whether you are younger or older, male or female, highly academic or very practical, gay or straight, whatever your marital status, racial or cultural origins, if your calling is to serve as a priest, we look forward to helping you take the next steps towards fulfilling this vocation.
