    St George's College, Jerusalem

    Introducing the College

    The Dean of the College, Revd. Dr. Stephen Need writes:

    Jerusalem is one of the most exciting cities on earth and St. George’s College is situated at its heart, just a few minutes from the Damascus and Herod Gates of the Old City. In moments you can be on the Via Dolorosa or in the Church of the Resurrection, on the Mount of Olives or in the Garden of Gethsemane.

    Situated alongside the Anglican Cathedral of St. George, the College provides a peaceful haven for study and refreshment right at the centre of town.

    Courses at St. George’s aim to provide Christians of all denominations and people of all faiths with an opportunity to explore the riches of the area.

    • Study the Bible and archaeology; the history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam; and meet the different peoples of the Holy Land today.
    • See Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Galilee, the Dead Sea and many of the sites associated with Jesus’ ministry.
    • Visit Qumran and Masada; Jericho and the Jordan Valley and get an overview of the Holy Land that will stay with you for ever.
    • Travel to Greece and Turkey in the footsteps of St. Paul; to Cyprus, Rome, Petra and the Sinai in search of monasteries, icons and desert spirituality.

    St. George’s courses will transform your life; rehabilitate your faith; and expand your understanding of the Bible and history.
