ANZATS

Welcome to ANZATS:

The Australian and New Zealand Association of Theological Schools was formed in 1968 and comprises 65 theological colleges and seminaries of all churches in Australia and New Zealand.

Our aims:

1. To provide a meeting ground where the needs and problems of the schools in Australia and New Zealand may be studied, and to provide facilities for members schools to confer concerning all matters of common interest.
2. To help member schools keep theological education relevant to the changing situation in Australia and New Zealand.
3. To recommend standards of theological education and to maintain a list of members on the basis of such standards, and to arrange for such other affiliations or connections as will assist in promoting theological enquiries in Australia and New Zealand.
4. To carry out an agreed evaluation of the educational enterprise of the members.
5. To encourage the most efficient use of resources for theological education available in Australia and New Zealand, and to promote, where practicable, cooperation between members in sharing lecturers and facilities.
6. To promote the improvement of theological education in such ways as it may deem appropriate.
