Recent History

In Spring 2014, a recent review titled "A report on the future of theological training in the Church in Wales", the college was faced with major changes, particularly the call to cease residential training at the college. After the announcement of the report at the Governing Body of the Church in Wales in April 2014, the college staff and the staff of St Seriol's Centre in Bangor wrote a follow up report making recommendations for change to the Bench of Bishops. The Bench accepted these recommendations and in a Press Release from the Church in Wales, it was announced: "At its meeting in June the Bench reviewed thoroughly responses to the report of the Ministry Training Review Group, which had been received by the Bishops in March and had since been the subject of a broad consultation across the Church in Wales and with our partner institutions. In particular, the Bench considered a detailed response prepared jointly by staff of St Michael's College, Cardiff, and the St Seiriol's Centre, Bangor. This proposal, entitled A Vision for Wales, advocated the creation of a new Training Institute to lead all ministry training in the Church in Wales, including education for discipleship and training for ordained ministries, both residential and non-residential."
