Westfield House:
           A Gift to the world

As part of the English Lutheran Church, Westfield is a confessionally Lutheran home. It has a strategic location near the Cambridge colleges with their libraries and chapels; at the same time it is away from the crowds. The city of saints and scholars is a blessing and inspiration in itself. But the real treasure is its people — both professors and students, who create an atmosphere of collegiality and fellowship, being together in worship, seminars, discussions, lectures, playing
soccer, and being friends and brothers.

   Westfield House: House of Theological Studies, The Evangelical Lutheran Church of England

Preceptors Perspective

  
I imagine that in these days most seminaries are
international communities. The distinctive thing about a small house of studies like Westfield House is that you really cannot avoid being touched by the cultures and experiences of Lutherans from other places. Just as the shared kitchen blends the exotic aromas of Russian soup and Sudanese tea with English fish and chips, so the seminars and the informal discussions in common room and library bring together a rich variety of perspectives.
   For one the confession of our faith has struggled through oppression and hardship. For another the word of God has been given free course, in answer to our prayer, so that open and lively exploration of it has been allowed.
   For one the challenge of his church is to articulate the Gospel in an Islamic society. For another it is a post-modern environment in which the same Gospel must be given voice. Every member of the community brings different experiences, and all benefit from the sharing of them.
   Each student, each teacher, has the opportunity to see the truth through fresh eyes. Any one who cannot do this, who believes that if it is different it must be wrong, is immune to education. But fortunately such ones are few. May the recipe continue to bring together its diverse ingredients.
