The Theological College of Lanka is an
ecumenical theological institution established by the Anglican,
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches in Sri Lanka for
theological education and ministerial formation.
-
The Theological College of Lanka in
accordance with its constitution is called to share in God’s mission
as revealed in Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit.
-
In order to achieve this mission we will
endeavour to provide biblical, theological, spiritual and contextual
formation to prospective candidates in the context of Sri Lanka.
-
The Theological College of Lanka will
endeavour to provide for each student, diligent ministerial
formation and opportunities for academic excellence.
-
The Theological College of Lanka endorses
the faith statements of the constituent churches and strives to
maintain an inclusive Christian spirituality.
-
The Theological College of Lanka will
continue to promote Christian knowledge, engage in scholarship, and
provide creative Christian ministerial training with a prophetic
role with Sri Lankan contextual emphasis acknowledging the wider
Asian and global context.
-
We are called to proclaim that all people
created in the image of God should be liberated from all slavery or
discrimination which tarnish that dignity.
-
We are called to toil in collaboration
and dialogue with all who are engaged in similar endeavours to
realise just peace and religious and communal harmony in Sri Lanka
and abroad.
-
The Theological College of Lanka would
also encourage and initiate scholars and students to engage in a
meaningful study of theological and related disciplines in the
context of Sri Lanka.
-
We are an inclusive and ecumenical
institution in the widest sense: we accept female and male, lay and
ordained, Christians and other faiths in our programmes, student
body and teaching staff.
