Society
The
1881Society
Our vision is of a Church that transforms hearts and minds, renewing and regenerating communities from the grassroots. Our society needs ministers and pastors who can engage with the contemporary world from a basis of sound theological and pastoral understanding. We want our ordinands to become worldchangers, and we are committed to ensuring that we offer dynamic learning opportunities to equip them to serve in the twenty-first century.
The
1881
The 1881 Society was launched in 2015 to find 1,881 donors who want to support the formation of the next generation of Anglican Christian leaders at Ridley. Will you join us?
How you can help The funds raised through the 1881 Society will enhance the educational and training resources of the College, from scholarships and bursaries to research facilities and extra courses, including an All Age Worship Training Day at a cost of £500 per year, and a Conflict Resolution course for our finalyear students at a cost of £2,000 per year. Will you help us establish new and much-needed training opportunities? Being a part of 1881 doesn’t have to involve giving a lot of money. What it does involve is a commitment to be consistent in giving, no matter how large or small, in prayer and support.
