College of the Resurrection

The College of the Resurrection, popularly known as Mirfield, is an Anglo-Catholic theological college of the Church of England in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1903, it describes itself as "A Theological College like no other". The college has close links to the Community of the Resurrection. It trains men and women, from the full range of Anglican churchmanship, for the priesthood.Daily lifeAll resident students are expected to attend Matins and Evensong six days a week. On most days the college says Matins and celebrates Low Mass in the college chapel and joins the Community of the Resurrection to sing Evensong. Saturday is the normal day off each week when there are no obligations. On Sundays, students are expected to join the community for Matins and the Solemn Mass. Later in the morning, students normally go to a local parish church as part of their pastoral formation.Single students live at the college, married students in nearby houses owned by the college. The married-student houses range in size from two to four bedrooms and none are more than a ten-minute walk from the college.University of SheffieldThe college, along with the YMC, began a new relationship with the University of Sheffield in 2010. This partnership with the university's Department of Biblical Studies means that students are now able to take University of Sheffield BA degrees in theological studies as part of their preparation for ordained ministry. A range of MA degrees are also on offer to any student, ordained or lay, in theology and ministry and also drawing on specialisms in biblical studies and the study of liturgy. Students on any of these courses are full students of the University of Sheffield and therefore have access to all its facilities, including the Students' Union, libraries and computer centres.
