The Belfast Bible College is a private theological and Christian training college situated on the outskirts of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The college has just completed a period of update and renaming in order to enhance its support for local churches, the local Christian community as a whole and the Christian community across the world. The college name has become Belfast School of Theology.

The college offers courses in Theology, delivered in partnership with the University of Cumbria.

The College does not belong to any single denomination but is a community drawn from 20 different denominations and 25 different countries.

History

The college was established in 1943 as the Belfast Bible School and Missionary Training Home.[1] It moved to its present site, Glenburn House in 1983.[1] At the time, the college had just 35 full-time students.[1]

The 2011 graduation took place in St. Annes Cathedral, Belfast, in attendance was the Lord Mayor of Belfast.[2]

The college had been one of the constituent colleges of the Institute of Theology and offered degrees through Queen's University, Belfast.[3] Following Queen's decision to end the validating of programmes through the institute from 2019, degrees are awarded just by Cumbria.[4]

Necrotaxis

Necrotaxis embodies a special type of chemotaxis when the chemoattractant molecules are released from necrotic or apoptotic cells.[1][2] Investigations of necrotaxis proved that ability to sense substances released from dying cells is present in unicellular level (e.g. Paramecium) as well as in vertebrates (see interactions of leukocytes with corpse of dead cells). Composition of the substances inducing necrotaxis is rather complex, some of them are still obscure. However, dep...
