Wesley College was a private co-educational Bible college in Florence, Mississippi. Founded in 1944, it closed in July 2010. Wesley was a conservative Bible college in the Wesleyan Arminian tradition. Wesley was founded by the Congregational Methodist Church and served as that denomination's sole institution of higher education. Wesley offered programs of study in three academic divisions leading to Bachelor's degrees, and program certificates. Academic programs available at Wesley included bachelor's programs in Biblical Literature, Christian Education, Missions, Pastoral Ministries, Christian Counseling, and certificate programs in General Education, and Ministerial Studies. ==History== In 1905, the Congregational Methodist Church founded its first college, "Atlanta Bible College." In 1912, financial difficulties and internal problems forced the closing of ABC. In 1944 the college was reborn as "Dallas Bible School," with Otho Jennings named the first superintendent. In August of the same year, W.E. Bruce was tabbed to replace Jennings, and would hold the position until 1953. In 1953 the Congregational Methodist Church acquired Westminster College in Tehuacana, Texas from the Methodist Protestant Church and relocated DBS there, adopting the Westminster name. In 1972, property was acquired in Florence, Mississippi and the college was relocated to newly constructed facilities. In 1976 the name was changed from Westminster to Wesley College, a name more in keeping with the College's Wesleyan/Arminian Tradition. The school closed in July 2010. 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「Wesley College (Mississippi)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
