Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary (GCTS) is an evangelical seminary whose main campus is based in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, with three other campuses in Boston, Massachusetts; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Jacksonville, Florida. The current president of Gordon-Conwell is Dennis Hollinger, a Christian ethicist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gordonconwell.edu/about/About-Our-President.cfm )〕 According to the Association of Theological Schools, Gordon-Conwell ranks as one of the largest evangelical seminaries in North America in terms of total number of full-time students enrolled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ats.edu/Resources/PublicationsPresentations/Documents/AnnualDataTables/2011-12AnnualDataTables.pdf )〕
==History==
The history of Gordon-Conwell goes back to the late 1800s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Gordon Cornwell )〕 In its current form, Gordon-Conwell arose from the refounding of two separate schools in 1969. This refounding was the product of a merger between Gordon Divinity School, formerly of Gordon College (1889) in Wenham, Massachusetts, and the Conwell School of Theology (1888), formerly of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both schools were founded in the Baptist theological heritage. Both Adoniram Judson Gordon and Russell Conwell were Baptist ministers; Gordon's divinity school was first established as Gordon Bible Institute in 1889, while Conwell's theological school was originally chartered as Temple College in 1888.
In 1969, both Gordon Divinity School and Conwell School of Theology experienced a downturn. The reorganization of both schools into Gordon-Conwell was the result of the financial backing of J. Howard Pew and the unifying influence of evangelist Billy Graham. Boston pastor and theologian Harold Ockenga was selected as its first president.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Gordon Cornwell )〕
Ockenga had wanted a strong evangelical voice in New England to contend with more theologically liberal schools like Harvard and Boston University. He also envisioned Gordon-Conwell as an east-coast equivalent to Fuller Theological Seminary on the west coast. Other former presidents include Robert C. Cooley (1981–97), Walter Kaiser, Jr. (1997–2006), and James Emery White (2006–7), and Haddon Robinson (2007–8).〔 Currently the President is Dennis Hollinger (2009–) and the chair of the board of Trustees for Gordon-Conwell is John A. Huffman, Jr., a pastor and author.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.gordonconwell.edu/about/Board-of-Trustees.cfm )〕
