History
The Centre for Christian Studies is historically rooted in the diaconal training schools of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches established in Canada in the late nineteenth century. The Social Gospel Movement combined with the influence of early femenism, which was fighting for more vocational opportunities for women, as well as the increading need of churches to fill overseas missionary sites were the major impetuses for the formation of these schools. In 1893, the Methodist National Training Centre was opened and the Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home followed in 1897.
