Culture & Community
Sometimes popularly known as the 'Onion', Union College is the center for ministerial training in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and is also an important hub for the provision of theological education generally. Union College has never been far from the critical discussions and, at times, controversies so prevalent in the context of changing social, historical and cultural circumstances in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. These points of controversy have been mostly of a theological nature, including ongoing discussions with related or affiliated organisations such as SPUD and the Youth forum of PCI.
