The founding theology of the Church of England is drawn from a combination of documents, beliefs and practices known as the ‘Historic Formularies’ and Canon Law. The Historic Formularies consist of scripture, the Book of Common Prayer, the 39 Articles of Religion and the Ordinal.
Priests of the Church of England are required to affirm their acceptance of the Historic Formularies at their ordination during the Declaration of Assent. The text of this can be found under Canon C15: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/policy-and-thinking/canons-church-england/section-c

That means that there is a significant move towards non-residential training in the Church of England. Does my hon. Friend worry that the Church of England needs not only managers, but theologians—people who have studied theology as an academic discipline? Will he take it from me, as an external adviser on the Oxford theology degree, that few people now study such academic courses in this country? Is there not a danger that theology will wither on the vine in the Church of England?

I would be very surprised if theology withered on the vine because the Archbishop of Canterbury is one of the finest theologians that we have and a great example to us all on theology. My hon. Friend is right that the choice between residential and non-residential training courses depends on several factors. I look forward to the merger of Ripon college with the Oxford ministry course, which will strengthen the college, allow for new types of training along the theological lines to which he referred and draw on the full strength of full-time and part-time modes of training.

Dr. Tonge: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans he has to ensure that the new Thame Grammar School does
not teach creationism in science lessons when it becomes a city academy. [112872]
Mr. Miliband: In order to secure a funding agreement with the Secretary of State, the sponsors of an Academy must demonstrate that
the Academy will offer a broad and balanced curriculum and teach the core subjects of the national curriculum, including science.
Moreover, all pupils are required to study science and be prepared for external examinations in science, which will ensure that an
appropriate curriculum is followed.
