Anglican Studies Certificate Program
This program is designed to equip
students for ministry in the Episcopal
Church. For those seeking ordination,
formation for priesthood is based on
a program centered on collegial reflection
on student placements in carefully
supervised Episcopal parishes and
enriched by the weekly celebration of
the Eucharist and the preparation of
the proper Scripture lessons appointed
for the week. Episcopal formation also
includes ecumenical education in general
theological studies, special academic
work concentrating in liturgical studies,
theology in the Episcopal tradition, worship
from the Book of Common Prayer,
and regular training in the spiritual practices
of the priesthood. The program is
also designed for lay people who wish to
develop facility in ministry for the church
and for ordained clergy who want to
enrich their ministry through continuing
education study. All the academic courses
in the program are open to any student
at Candler, and the Wednesday 5:30 p.m.
Sung Eucharist in Cannon Chapel is open
to all. For more information contact
Ted Hackett, interim director at 404-727-4188.
