Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide

Description

The Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide is a research and teaching centre dedicated to study, reflection, and practical engagement with the global nature of Christianity in the twenty-first century.

All the Centre’s work is based on the principle of ‘Church – Mission – Academy,’ seeking to connect all three.

The Centre has research programmes and doctoral degrees, which support national and international scholars who are looking for a place to deepen their knowledge and reflect critically on Christianity in its many forms.

In addition, the Centre also has an Intercultural Encounter programme through which students and others in Cambridge are sent across the globe to engage with sisters and brothers in Christ in diverse cultures.

With its library and archives, the Centre encourages students and visitors to dig deep into the history, theology, and contemporary manifestations of global Christianity.

The Centre holds various events, including seminars and lectures, which bring elements of the world church to life in Cambridge. Since 1881, the Centre has had a presence in Cambridge, linking a world-class university city with the world church and bringing everyone to deeper understanding of one another.
