History

Westminster Theological Centre began at St Mary's, Bryanston Square, Central London, in 2006, under the leadership of Crispin Fletcher-Louis and with the support of the Vicar of St Mary's (John Peters) and members of the church. Its courses aim to deliver theological training to students who remain based in their home churches and contexts of influence.^[4] The Centre has expanded its academic staff, and in 2013, Lucy Peppiatt became the second Principal of WTC. In 2014, WTC expanded into Northern Europe with the addition of its Stockholm Hub (http://www.wtctheology.org.uk/stockholm).
