Trinity College, Bristol was founded as an Evangelical Anglican theological college but trains Christians of all denominations. It is located in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, England. It offers a range of full-time and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate courses which are validated by the University of Bristol, though the college sets it own curriculum. Many of its students are training for ordination in the Church of England; and hence there is a strong vocational aspect to the courses it provides.
It runs evening classes which are used by the Diocese of Bristol for its training of ordained and lay local ministers. It also has an Open Learning department; students study at home and are linked to a local study group with a tutor.

Famous quotes containing the words trinity and/or bristol:
“Nature is so perfect that the Trinity couldn’t have fashioned her any more perfect. She is an organ on which our Lord plays and the devil works the bellows.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guard’s cutlass and silvers this nook;
But ‘twill die in the dawning of Billy’s last day.
A jewel-block they’ll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly—
O, ‘tis me, not the sentence they’ll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
