Oxford Centre for Mission Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS) is located in St Philip and St James Church on Woodstock Road, Oxford, England, opposite Leckford Road [1]. It was established in 1983.
The Centre exists to aid church leaders. It was founded by mission theologians from Africa, Asia and Latin America. OCMS offers taught Masters courses and PhD/MPhil research degrees.
The original SS Philip and James Church (also colloquially known as "Pip and Jim"), is a Victorian Gothic building with a tall and very visible spire, consecrated on 8 May 1862 as part of the establishment of the suburb of North Oxford [2].
Immediately to the south is the aptly named Church Walk, for pedestrians only. To the north is Canterbury Road.
