'Wycliffe College' is an Anglican Church of Canada seminary at the University of Toronto. It is evangelical and Low church in orientation. On the other hand, the University of Toronto's other Anglican college, the University of Trinity College is Anglo-Catholic in outlook and is a federated university.
The seminary was founded in 1877 as the ''Protestant Episcopal Divinity School'', by the Church Association of the Diocese of Toronto, a lay Evangelical group at the Cathedral Church of St. James. The Association had been formed in 1873 after a group of clergy in the diocesan synod attempted to exclude Evangelicals from important diocesan positions. The name ''Wycliffe College'', inspired by the English theologian John Wycliffe, was given first to the college's building and then to the college itself.
