| description | <p>This paper consists of twenty articles written between July 2014 and June 2021 which were published in the termly educational supplements of the Church Times. Their purpose was essentially twofold: first to highlight for the general readership current issues in higher education and second to explore in more detail issues affecting the fifteen church-related universities of the Cathedrals Group and in particular the twelve associated with the Anglican church. All these universities arose out of teacher training colleges established by the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. From the 1980s onwards they gradually diversified into other subject areas becoming colleges of higher education and then at the start of the current century they gained full university status. Being small in student size and among the last to become universities, establishing themselves within the university sector has not been easy. Furthermore, unlike church schools which play a central role within the life of the Church of England, the position of the universities is much more marginal. The extent to which they will be able to remain free-standing and church-related institutions rather than becoming completely detached from the church and possibly absorbed into larger universities, remains to be seen. These articles raise pertinent questions about their futures.</p>
<p>Within the Cathedrals Group, the universities associated with the Church of England are Bishop Grosseteste Lincoln; Canterbury Christ Church; Chester; Chichester; Cumbria; Gloucestershire; Plymouth Marjon; Winchester; and York St John. Trinity St David is associated with the Church in Wales. Roehampton consists of four colleges. – Whitelands which is Church of England, Digby Stuart which is Roman Catholic, Southlands which is Methodist, and Froebel which is non-denominational. Liverpool Hope is a joint Church of England/Roman Catholic university and there are three free-standing Roman Catholic universities – Newman Birmingham; Trinity Leeds; and St Mary’s Twickenham.</p> |
