Andhra Christian Theological College (ACTC) is a seminary[2] in Telangana which was founded in 1964.[3] It is affiliated with India's first[4] university, the Senate of Serampore College (University) (a university under section 2(f) of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956),[5] [6] and has degree-granting authority under a Danish charter ratified by the government of West Bengal.[7] ACTC is on the Hussain Sagar canal (north) in Gandhinagar, Hyderabad, about from the Secunderabad Junction railway station.[8]

The college was founded on the Lutheran Theological College campus in Rajahmundry and the founding societies included[9] [10] the Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Church of South India, the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars, the Methodist Church in India and the South Andhra Lutheran Church. The Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches held its B.D. classes at ACTC in 1967, and in 1972 the B.D. programme of the Ramayapatnam Baptist Theological Seminary was integrated into the college. When M. Victor Paul was principal (1991 - 1993), Good Samaritan Evangelical Lutheran Church joined the college.[10]

Christian missions in Andhra Pradesh[11] opened seminaries in Gooty (Union Theological Seminary),[12] Dornakal (Andhra Union Theological College,[13] for the Church of South India), Ramayapatnam (Baptist Theological Seminary, for the American Baptists), Luthergiri[14] (Lutheran Theological College), Kakinada (Baptist Theological Seminary, for Canadian Baptists) and Shamshabad (Mennonite Brethren Centenary Bible College, for the Anabaptists). Although professors were exchanged among the seminaries, Bachelor of Divinity students attended Serampore College in West Bengal.

Overview

Kretzmann Commission

ACTC constituted the Kretzmann Commission in 1969,[16] consisting of:

The commission's report, presented to the board of governors, suggested increasing the Bachelor of Divinity curriculum and abolishing the Licentiate in Theology programme.

Merger

In 1964, the college was founded in Luthergiri, Rajahmundry, East Godavari with the merger of three[17] theological colleges:[18] Andhra Union Theological College in Dornakal, Baptist Theological Seminary in Kakinada, and Lutheran Theological College in Rajahmundry.[19]

With William D. Coleman as its first principal, the college was dedicated on 1 July[20] 1964 by R. M. Clark[20] of the BTESSC. The inaugural address was delivered by Senate of Serampore College registrar C. Devasahayam in Rajahmundry.[21]

The Ramayapatnam Baptist Theological Seminary was a separate part of the college in Rajahmundry until it merged in 1972.[22] [20] [23] By 1973, the college had moved from Rajahmundry to Secunderabad due to pollution from nearby paper mills.[24] The new buildings were dedicated by Church of South India bishop Pereji Solomon in the presence of Catholic archbishop Samineni Arulappa and seminarians from St. John's Regional Seminary.[25] During the 1990s, the college's postal address changed to Hyderabad (now in Telangana).

Administration and faculty

Board of governors

The college is administered by a board of governors composed of representatives of participating Protestant ecclesiastical societies:

Motto

The college motto is derived from Ephesians 4:12, which reads in the Latin Vulgate: "Ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii..."[51] ("For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry..." in the King James Version).

Hall system

W. D. Coleman, the college's first principal, explained the hall system: "Each of the participating denominations has its own 'hall'. There are two hours of instruction each week about the liturgy, history, and policy of each denomination".[52]

The churches commonly associated with Protestantism in southern India include the Anglicans, Congregationalists, Wesleyan Methodists, Baptists, Lutherans and Methodists. Each church has its own tradition. At ACTC, students learn their respective church doctrine in addition to general theology.[53]

Principals

The principal serves a four-year term (2022-2026), with each participating church having an opportunity to provide a principal. The current principal is the Rev. T. Swami Raju, D.Th. (Serampore).

Library

ACTC's library has reading-room facilities, over 38,000[88] books and 35 periodicals. When the college was founded, it was known as the Dunkelberger Memorial Library.[20] The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America[89] had sponsored the library[89] in memory of Roy Martin Dunkelberger,[90] AELC, a Lutheran missionary in Rajahmundry.[91]

The library was renamed the Gipson Memorial Library in 2014 in honour of Baptist missionary T. G. Gipson, STBC, who had modernized the library during his second term as a visiting faculty member at the college.[92] The renaming ceremony was held during the tenure of T. Matthews Emmanuel (CBCNC) as principal, in the presence of board of governors chair K. Frederick Paradesi Babu (AELC) and board member V. Prasada Rao (CSI).
