Saturday Course Series
AS 101 History of the Anglican Tradition: Part 1
This course covers the establishment of Christian practice in the British Isles from its earliest beginnings through the end of the fifteenth century. This includes several periods in which the Church developed a character particular to its time frame (e.g., Celtic). Students will develop an understanding of the history and key persons involved in each period.
AS106 Anglican Pastoral Theology
This course is intended to teach pastoral ministry as it is traditionally practiced in an Anglican parish. This includes not only care for the sick, hurting, and dying members of the parish, but also other dimensions such as marriage and divorce. It seeks to apply time proven practices from the Reformed tradition as well as earlier sources.
AS 102 Liturgical and Sacramental Theology
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the basic development of Anglican Liturgical worship as well as a working knowledge of the liturgical practice. The course will use Common Worship from the Church of England as well as other forms. The course will explore the theology of Sacraments, especially as they relate to the liturgy.
AS107 Anglican Missiology and Evangelism
This course will explore the history and practices of Christian missions and evangelistic efforts throughout the history of the Anglican Communion. It will discuss mission societies, the relationship to colonialism and more recent developments. It will explore evangelism in both a global mission context and local context.
AS103 Theology and Spirituality of the BCP
AS108 Celtic Spirituality and Missiology
This course is designed to help students gain the competencies in critical historical and theological analysis of liturgical texts and practices so as to function effectively in a pastoral setting. It is hoped that they increase their capacity to make creative, constructive, and appropriate use of current liturgical resources in contemporary, multi-cultural, and global Anglican worship contexts as well as their own local worshipping communities.
This course will examine the practices of the Celtic Church prior to the establishment of the St. Augustine mission, with the intention to develop an understanding of how they practiced the spiritual life with the Christian faith. It will further examine how they lived out the mission of the Church and furthered the expansion of the Gospel. It will look for parallels with that context and our own for application to the current work of the Gospel.
AS104 Canons and Polity of the Anglican Communion
This course is designed to help students gain a working knowledge of the standard practices of church governance and canon law within the context of the Anglican Communion. It will explore the overall understanding of how canon law governs the administration of the church, and the Anglican Communion in particular, as well as the commonly accepted practices of church governance. It will provide students with an understanding of the authority and responsibilities of clergy operating in the Anlican Communion.
AS109 Anglican Homiletics and Formation
This course will help the student develop preaching skills and the ability to foster Christian formation within the parish in a way that is consistent with common practices within the Anglican Communion. Preaching will be shown in the context of the lectionary and church calendar. Formation will be within the traditions of accepted Anglican theology and mindful of the needs and rhythm of the congregation. Develop an understanding of Expository, Textual, Topical and Narrative sermons.
AS105 History of the Anglican Tradition, Part 2
This course is designed to help students understand how the Reformation developed within the Anglican tradition; how it depended upon the Continental Reformation and how it differed from it. It will explore themes of conflicting catholic and reformed practice within the Communion. It will also explore recent trends in the Anglican tradition, especially the Renewal movement of the 20th Century.
AS110 Moral Theology
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to questions about what it means to be a moral person in our contemporary world. In particular, we will examine what it means to be a Christian moral person—that is, what Christian faith and the Anglican tradition contribute to our understanding of a moral universe. We will discuss ethical principles as they have emerged throughout the Christian tradition and explore how such resources can be used to assist in discerning Christian moral life today.
