Description

We will explore the evolution of the Anglican spiritual tradition from Jesus to today, including ways in which contemporary Anglican spirituality has been influenced by other traditions and vice-versa. Anglicanism is rooted deeply in the call to worship and serve Jesus Christ and God’s world in the context of various vocations (lay, ordained, and monastic), and the course aims to help students discern and articulate such calls. We will explore ways to integrate spiritual expression (both prayer and action) as a grounding for all forms of ministry and to learn and practice some traditional forms of prayer: lectio divina, the Jesus Prayer, centering prayer, awareness examen, Ignatian contemplation, and others. The course will encourage students to explore their own spiritual journeys and to develop a flexible and evolving Rule of Life that will ground their spiritual journeys.
