“Roots down, walls down, bridges out…”
… describes the ethos and vision of the Cambridge Theological Federation.

Roots down

Roots down:
Drawing together insights from a wide spectrum of Christian traditions and both universities in Cambridge, the Federation is a pioneering partnership where students can live and grow within their own traditions and learn from others.

Walls down

Walls down:
Member institutions share resources to help students grow in their understanding of mission, ministry and their own spiritual formation in a truly ecumenical environment.

Bridges out

Bridges out:
Students study academic and pastoral subjects in order to empower them to serve God in practical and collaborative ways in a wide variety of lay and ordained contexts.
