History

Moore College was founded in Liverpool, New South Wales in 1856 (making 2006 the 150th anniversary of foundation) by a former estate-holder Thomas Moore and Anglican Bishop of Sydney, Frederic Barker. In 1891 Moore College was moved to Newtown so that it could be near the University of Sydney. Since 1993, women have jointly enrolled with Mary Andrews College when they study at Moore. Some of their training for ministry and their pastoral care are, however, the particular responsibility of Mary Andrews College. Moore College has numerous buildings in the surrounding area. The latest building opened was the Broughton Knox Teaching Centre in 1994. The Moore College Library is the biggest theological library in Australia, with close to 300,000 works in its collection.^[1] It also houses numerous manuscripts and other pieces of significance to Anglican, Australian and evangelical history. Well-known Moore College theologians and writers have included Peter O'Brien, Barry Webb, Graeme Goldsworthy, Peter Jensen, Paul Barnett, David Broughton Knox and Donald W. B. Robinson. Through the influence of Moore College, Sydney Anglicanism has maintained its unique Evangelical perspective within worldwide Anglicanism.

Departments

Moore College teaches subjects in the areas of Biblical Studies, Christian Thought and History, and Christian Ministry. There is an emphasis on study of the Bible in the original languages, and practical experience for students in Christian ministry. Most of the college's students are also employed in Christian ministry at churches throughout Sydney. The college holds the annual Moore College Lectures and Moore College School of Theology, which are open to students and the public. Many of these lecture series have been subsequently published. The college also runs the bookstore Moore Books, which provides low cost Christian books to students and the public.

External studies

Since the 1940s the college's Department of External Studies has trained lay preachers within the Diocese of Sydney. These students initially attended evening lectures but the course was gradually offered by correspondence. The department still runs evening lectures as well as a more fully developed correspondence course offered at three levels: the Preliminary Theological Certificate, the Certificate in Theology and the Diploma in Biblical Studies. In 2006 there were just under 2000 students enrolled in correspondence course subjects.^[2] This course is also used in several other countries including Nigeria^[3] and India^[4]. Translation is underway into Chinese, Tamil, Hindi and Hausa.^[5]

Accreditation

Accreditation is by the NSW Department of Education and Training. Some courses and topics are associated with the Australian College of Theology. The college offers a number of degrees and diplomas, including a Bachelor of Divinity, Bachelor of Theology, and various Masters degrees. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is offered both in association with the University of Sydney and with the University of Western Sydney.
