Heritage Colleges (Australia)
Encyclopedia
Heritage Colleges Australia is a group of four Christadelphian schools in Australia
situated in Sydney
, Cooranbong
, Adelaide
, Perth
and Melbourne.
The name "Heritage College" comes from the Bible passage "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward" (Psalm
127:3) and is indicative of the Colleges' belief that parents are 'caretakers of the precious children that God has 'lent' them', which is the motivation behind the Heritage Colleges' aim to 'assist [parents] in raising and saving these children for Christ and his coming Kingdom on Earth'.
There are other Christadelphian schools around the world in, for example, Ontario
(Canada
), and California
(USA
).
