About George Whitefield College

According to Wikipedia, George Whitefield College is a Christian theological college in Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa. History The college is named after the 18th-century English evangelist George Whitefield. The precursor to George Whitefield College arose in the early-1970s when candidates for the CESA which is now called Reach SA Reformed Evangelical Anglican Church of South Africa ministry were trained at the Bible Institute of South Africa in Kalk Bay as they had been for many years. Bishop Bradley and other leaders of the Church became increasingly aware that future candidates were not receiving adequate training and knowledge of the doctrines, practices and history of the Church of England. It was decided that these candidates would meet once a week in the library at the Institute for tuition on the Book of Common Prayer and other issues central to the CESA worship. The Rev Barry Shucksmith from the Pinelands, Cape Town congregation took these lectures in the capacity as tutor until his return to England, and to the independent Anglican church based in the UK where he was made a bishop. In 1976, Rev David Streeter joined the Institute and later became warden of George Whitefield House based at that same Institute.
