March 20, 2018
Northern Seminary’s new Anglican Studies Program (with certificate and degree options) begins Spring 2018, through a partnership with The Telos Collective, an initiative of The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). The Anglican Studies Program is designed to serve the academic and formational requirements of students preparing for Anglican ministry, lay and especially ordained.
In this program, students will engage the Anglican history, theology and practice that offers pastors, church planters and lay ministers a huge treasure chest of tools for contemporary evangelism and spiritual formation. The program provides a practical foundation for ministry with an Anglican ethos.
The Anglican Studies Program is led by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Todd Hunter, Bishop of the Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others, a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America. A popular author, speaker and adjunct professor, Hunter is also founder of The Telos Collective, a task force to equip Anglicans to engage culture with the gospel. Courses will be taught by a group of distinguished professors, including Bishop Hunter and the Rev. Dr. Jack Gabig of Trinity School for Ministry.
Northern Seminary will kick off its Anglican Studies Program with a conference for missional Anglicans interested in engaging culture, held on Northern’s campus May 17-19, 2018. Hosted by the Telos Collective, the conference will present hands-on learning opportunities with several faculty members. Attendees will have the chance to earn three credits toward an Anglican Studies Certificate, Master’s degree, or Doctor of Ministry degree.
Other Anglican Studies courses include: Anglican Theology & Ecclesiology, Anglican History and Spirituality, Anglican Pastoral Leadership: Parish & Priest, and Anglican Mission.
