60 Years Of "Go Forth And Multiply" At Capernwray

National director Ross Georgiou marks the 60th anniversary of Capernwray Bible College (also known as Torchbearers), a gap-year Bible school based at Monivae near Cambridge that pairs theological study with adventure activities like kayaking, rock climbing and caving. He traces its roots to post-war ministry with young people, including German students who gave it the Torchbearers name, and notes the college has drawn 1200-1500 students over six decades, with some alumni now sending their own children through the programme.

Mr Georgiou outlines a weekend of celebrations including a banquet, Thanksgiving service and barbecue, and looks ahead to future plans such as a Laidlaw College partnership, a C.S. Lewis and Tolkien-themed teaching retreat, reviving a touring Bible school around New Zealand, and deepening missional ties across the South Pacific ([www.capeandray.org.nz](https://www.capeandray.org.nz)).
