The Centre was established in 1994 as the Oxford Centre of the Study of Christianity and Culture; its initial focus being the mission of the College as a whole in fostering ‘the formation of a Christian mind’ through critical engagement between faith and culture.

The Centre aims to bring a critical inquiry to the interface of religion and culture as it relates to differing communities, contexts and peoples, across the world:

  • Encouraging theological study in the light of other disciplines
  • Facilitating the study of other disciplines in the light of religious and cultural insights
  • Developing research in inter-disciplinary aspects of religious and cultural studies
  • Fostering culturally aware religious leaders
  • Enabling critical religious and cultural thinking on practical and ethical issues

Current lecture and seminars events will be publicised here.
