Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust. Applicant overview: The Selly Oak Colleges are a federation of eight autonomous institutions, each with its own governing body, principal and staff, and each having its own special ethos. In 1922 five-foundation colleges covenanted together to form the federation - these were Woodbrooke (Quaker studies, international affairs, social studies), Fircroft (adult education, sociology, economics, politics etc.), Westhill (College of Education: teacher training, youth and community leadership), Kingsmead (Methodist missionary training) and Carey Hill (missionary training for women, now federated with St. Andrews College to form St. Andrews Hall). To these original five four others have been added, Overdale (theological studies), The College of the Ascension (Anglican missionary training), Avoncroft (residential short courses in liberal studies and staff training for local government officers) and St. Andrews College (missionary training for men and women of a number of denominations). Nature of support: In 1987 the Trust made a donation of £750 to the Selly Oak Colleges bursary fund. In 1991 a grant of £450 was made toward the fellowship of Revd Dr Stefan Schreiner of Humbolt University, Berlin as a visiting lecturer. Minutes: No minutes cited.
