  • John Wesley Iliff, and Theological Education in the West
    Methodist History, 24:2 (January 1986) JOHN WESLEY ILIFF, AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE WEST r J. ALTON TEMPLIN t I When we discuss The Iliff School of Theology, we are often asked about the meaning of the name. Because the name is not common in most Ir ! parts of the country, there are many mispronunciations as well as misspell­ f ings. The name "Iliff" is actually a family name, associated with the earliest history of the Colorado Territory. It is possible that it was originally spelled "Oeliff" or "Ayloff," and was derived from that part of England controlled by the Vikings in the ninth century. At any rate, the origin of the name seems to have been in eastern England, according to all the family tradi­ tions that have been located. l To document these assumptions will take more detailed research. The memory and the name of the original Iliff forebear in Colorado are preserved in a town in northeastern Colorado, in an Avenue in Denver, and in the United Methodist theological school SCi: which bears his name. Since this theological school plays a significant role in the develop­ ment of the church, and especially Methodism, in the western part of our nation, we need to see how the vision of Mr. Iliff came to be a reality. Who were the leaders of the school at the beginning? We shall note five f" l' _I major personalities: John Wesley Iliff; his second wife, Elizabeth Iliff; i , f ' 1 ; Bishop Henry White Warren; William Seward Iliff; and Miss Louise Iliff.

  • Anglican Studies Program, Iliff School of Theology
    ANGLICAN STUDIES PROGRAM, ILIFF SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY Report of the Anglican Studies Program at the Iliff School of Theology to the 132nd Annual Convention of the Diocese of Colorado—OctoBer 3-5, 2019. MISSION STATEMENT The Anglican Studies Program at the Iliff School of Theology serves the Episcopal Church in Colorado by providing dynamic opportunities for comprehensive, graduate theological education. DESCRIPTION The Iliff School of Theology has joined with the Episcopal Church in Colorado to provide a specific component of the MDiv degree designed to satisfy the canonical requirements for Postulants seeking ordination in the Episcopal Church. Ordinarily, students will have undergone a substantial process of discernment and will have approval of their Commission on Ministry and Bishop prior to enrolling. Students seeking ordination in the Episcopal Church complete the MDiv degree, incorporating four or more Anglican Studies courses. Some of these may be taken as electives; some will fulfill core requirements of the M.Div. Students who complete four of the Anglican Studies courses (in consultation with the Director of Anglican Studies, regardless of degree program, ordination, or professional plans), will Be eligiBle to receive a Graduate Certificate in Anglican Studies. Anglican students participate in an ongoing, quarterly spiritual formation/peer reflection group with the Director of Anglican Studies and associated faculty. Students are strongly encouraged to use elective hours for additional coursework in Anglican Studies. Courses offered under the auspices of the Anglican Studies Program are also open to non-degree students – including lay persons – seeking to enhance their ministries. Clergy pursuing continuing education opportunities also take courses in the Anglican Studies Program.

  • ILIFF SCHOOL of THEOLOGY Rev. Dr. Thomas V. Wolfe, President and Chief Executive Officer
    ILIFF SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY Rev. Dr. Thomas V. Wolfe, President and Chief Executive Officer Greetings from the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. We wish you blessings as together we share the work of strengthening the Church and offering a compassionate presence to the World. The Iliff School of Theology’s commitment to the Wesleyan ethos of providing hopeful, intellectually alive, and spiritually grounded theological education for each and every student over the course of their lifetime continues. Iliff’s identity is focused on educating leaders for three primary publics: the world, the church, and the academy. At Iliff, we refuse to choose between being a training home only for ministerial candidates, a center only for activists and scholar-activists, or a school only for academics. We believe all three are inseparable and enhance one another as we deliberately situate ourselves in the world and critically operate out of the world’s complexities. As such, we recognize that the world’s religious landscape is changing and there is much at stake. Iliff recently completed its strategic plan, revised its curriculum, transformed its library, and initiated new relationships with other institutions. In collaboration with the people of Africa, we’ve started a discussion with Africa University (AU) to foster an educational alliance that will benefit Iliff and AU students. We have also Joined a multi-institutional collaboration facilitated by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry and the HANA Scholarship to create a pipeline for Hispanic students from United Methodist related secondary schools and historically black colleges leading to graduate level theological education.
