Oak Hill is a theological college training men and women for Anglican (and other) ministry.
As a distinctively evangelical institution, it has always needed to battle for approval, growth, accreditation and influence in the Church of England, as this record of its history demonstrates. Yet the foreword is by Dr. George Carey, a former staff member and valued college footballer; and at various points in the history one encounters a striking number of other former staff and students who would later be given influential and hierarchical positions in the CofE. Nonetheless Oak Hill has not had an easy ride.
