History
Wesley Institute was founded in 1989 on the premise that synergies generated from blending visual, performing, and other forms of applied arts with theological and biblical studies can inform, enrich, innovate, transform and empower Christian life, leadership, ministry and service in a variety of professional, community, educational, artistic and other situations. The Institute has been a highly successful pioneer in designing and implementing academic courses predicated on creative ministry concepts, and its models have been adopted by other Christian education providers.
In addition to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Theology and the Creative Arts, the Institute also offers postgraduate qualifications in Counselling and Pre-service Teacher Education which have each extended the scope of Christian provision in these professions in Australia.
Government accreditation was granted in 1992.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
