Melbourne College Of Divinity
Founded by an Act of the Victorian State Parliament on December 17, 1910, the Melbourne College of Divinity (MCD) is the oldest ecumenical institution in the world offering academic degrees and awards in theology and divinity. At its founding, the college represented the Church of England, the Baptist, Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches, and by co-optation the Churches of Christ. It was later enlarged to include the Roman Catholic Church and the Salvation Army. Since 1993 the MCD, while retaining its autonomy and degree conferring status, has been affiliated with the University of Melbourne; academic programs are also available in conjunction with Monash University.
Today the MCD includes eight denominational Colleges representing the Anglican, Baptist, Churches of Christ, Roman Catholic and Uniting churches, and the Salvation Army, and has one specialist institute, the Institute for Christian Spirituality and Pastoral Formation. By its very nature the MCD is fundamentally committed to ecumenical co-operation in theological education. Each MCD Recognised Teaching Institution, while encouraged to be true to its own heritage and commitments, is enriched by membership in a theologically diverse community of scholars and scholarship. Students, faculty, alumni and friends of the MCD are proud participants in a collaborative effort that seeks to achieve collectively what member institutions could not accomplish individually.
