Laidlaw College, formerly known as Bible College of New Zealand (BCNZ), Laidlaw College is the largest interdenominational Christian College in Aotearoa New Zealand, offering qualifications from certificate to doctoral level, in the areas of theology and biblical studies, mission, ministry, counselling and teacher education. They provide a dynamic learning environment for students throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world, with two campuses in Auckland, one in Christchurch and great distance learning opportunities too. Laidlaw College has at its core a deep commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ to which the Bible bears witness and to an encounter with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as we learn together. Their programmes bridge the gap between faithful reflection on God and a deep engagement with the world. College life is relational and community oriented and the College is committed to seeing their students flourish academically, socially and through encounter with God and others. Laidlaw College reflects and celebrates the cultural diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand and its bicultural heritage. ==History== Laidlaw College was founded in 1922 by Reverend Joseph Kemp and businessman Robert Laidlaw. Originally known as the Bible Training Institute (BTI), the College trained men and women in the Scriptures and theology. In 1972 the Institute was renamed the Bible College of New Zealand (BCNZ). The College has continued training men and women for work in the fields of pastoral ministry and mission but has also equipped its students for leadership and service in a broad range of roles across society. In 2005 the College appointed Dr Mark Strom as National Principal/CEO with a mandate to clarify the College's vision and purpose and deepen its capacity to inspire and educate men and women for leadership and influence within the churches and society of Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. In September 2010, Dr Rod Thompson was appointed National Principal/CEO and has led the College through its most recent phase of strengthening and growth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laidlaw College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
