Theological Education

The availability of quality Anglican Theological Education here in the West is a priority because many of our candidates for the ordained ministry have families to support and are unable to attend seminaries in the eastern part of the United States.  Theological Education is one of two subcommittees of our Clergy Development and Theological Education Committee.  It has begun a process of establishing relationships with Western seminaries whereby Anglican studies can be made available as part of the MDiv programs.  To date, work on a course syllabus has begun at Azusa Pacific University/Haggard Graduate School of Theology, as part of an MDiv program with emphasis on Anglican Theology. The courses are:

• Liturgy I History of Christian Worship
• Liturgy II Pastoral Liturgy
• Anglican Church History
• Ascetical Theology: Anglican Spirituality
• Anglican Ethics and Moral Theology
• Anglican Parish Ministry

An Anglican Theological Library and a Board of Examining Chaplains are also planned, as the subcommittee's work continues.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth.  2 Tim 2:15
