Christ's College in Aberdeen oversees the preparation and formation of ministerial candidates for the Church of Scotland. The College collaborates closely with the Department of Divinity and Religious Studies to ensure candidates receive appropriate academic training for the ministry, funding a Teaching Fellowship in Practical Theology, organizing extramural lectures and seminars, and hosting an annual lecture at the beginning of each academic year. In addition, the College maintains the Divinity Library, which serves all undergraduates within the department. It also contributes to the spiritual life of the university. In conjunction with the Principal and the Divinity Department, Christ's College recently launched a series of lectures open to the public to show case the developing work in theology, ethics and biblical studies. The story of the College is told in a recent book called College Voices and written by Clare Davidson. standrewpress.hymnsam.co.uk
