St Mellitus College is a theological college established in 2007 by the Diocese of London and the Diocese of Chelmsford of the Church of England. It has campuses in Earl's Court, Chelmsford, Liverpool and Plymouth, with growing links with other churches, colleges and dioceses throughout the UK and beyond. The President is the Bishop of Kensington, Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, and the Dean is the Revd Dr Andy Emerton. St Mellitus College is a wholly non-residential college and has pioneered mixed-mode training within the Church of England, integrating academic theological study with ministry placements throughout the course of study.
Named after the very first Bishop of London, whose territory covered London and Essex, the college was founded in 2007 by the bishops of London and Chelmsford to serve the church’s mission in those regions and beyond. It has grown significantly since being founded, and moved into its own premises at St Jude's Church in Earl's Court in 2012, a building renovated specifically for this purpose. The centre houses a range of teaching space, rooms for pastoral care, academic and administrative offices, a growing academic library, space for hospitality and college worship. In 2013, St Mellitus North-West was established at Liverpool Cathedral, reestablishing an Anglican training college in that area for the first time in more than 40 years. This new venture is directed by the Rev Dr Jill Duff, in partnership with five dioceses in that area (Blackburn, Carlisle, Chester, Liverpool and Manchester). In September 2017, St Mellitus South West will be launched, based in Plymouth under the direction of Rev Dr Donna Lazenby.
The college offers courses for many different kinds of students, including:
The college is named after St. Mellitus, one of the least known but most significant figures in the establishment of the church in London and Essex – a key moment in the conversion of the British Isles. St Mellitus was sent to England by Pope Gregory the Great, following in the footsteps of St Augustine, who had made the same journey a few years before.
