Taylor College and Seminary is a private college in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As its mission, Taylor seeks to "develop Christ-minded leaders who make a difference in the world." The enabling legislation is the ''Post-secondary Learning Act''.〔http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=p19p5.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779737932 ''Post-secondary Learning Act''〕 ==History== The college was established in 1940 as the ''Christian Training Institute''. In 1949 the school became affiliated to the North American Baptist Conference. It was accredited by the Department of Education of Alberta in 1952. A divinity school was added in 1958. The institution moved from its original location near the U of A to its present location on 23 Avenue in 1968. With the help of the alumni association, a 28-acre campus was purchased, and a major building program was carried out in 1968, including an administration building, two dormitories and the Student Union Building, at a cost of over $1,000,000. The institute was renamed ''North American Baptist College'' and endorsed by the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges the same year. On July 29, 1988, the college signed an affiliation agreement with the University of Alberta, which remained in place for a number of years. An accredited "university college" began offering undergraduate programs in 2002, and the school changed its name to Taylor University College and Seminary. The undergraduate programs were ended in June 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Taylor University College to Close in June 2009; Taylor Seminary will Continue )〕 Taylor Seminary continues to operate, and the E P Wahl Centre began offering non-credit educational programs in 2008-09; a Conservatory of Music was added in 2010. In 2010, a large portion of the campus was sold and is now home to CDI College and Concordia High School, which began leasing space from CDI in 2011. A history of Taylor was written by former president Dr. J. Walter Goltz in 2009, titled "For God and Truth." An addendum to that book ((For God and Truth: An Update )), covering the recent changes at the institution, is available online. 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「Taylor College and Seminary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
