Reflection on aspects of the spiritual formation of the human person and of the postulant for ordination in the Anglican Church. Students will consider topics such as the theology of the human person, longing for God, spiritual motherhood and fatherhood, kenosis, stewardship of the sacraments, preaching and prayer, and how these inform our understanding of the priesthood.

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.

This course invites students to consider how their own spiritual formation as a person is essential to their ministry and the effective spiritual formation of those in their care. Through reflection on the spiritual and theological nature of the life of faith, students will consider what leadership in the Church will require of them, and how they will respond to this challenge as they deepen their own spiritual and vocational calling.

Theosis (divinization, deification) has become a veritable buzzword in the Eastern Churches in the last century. It constitutes the Orthodox understanding of grace and sanctification, but it goes further. Contrary lo popular opinion, it is not an exclusively Eastern teaching, as various Western Christian authors have taken it up, from the Latin Fathers to Thomas Aquinas as well as modern authors and even the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Recently Angtican, Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist and even Evangelical authors have been drawn to the theme. This course will focus primarily on the biblical, patristic, medieval, and contemporary writings from the Orthodox point of view, with a nod to Catholic approaches. It will engage questions of Image and likeness, incamational exchange, adoption. the essence/energies distinction Every effort has been made to give a manageable reading load for the short intervals between classes in this intensive version of the course. Since the Mystical Theology of the Eastern Churches involves what the Christian West calls SpirituaHty as well as Doctrlne/Sysytematic Theology. students in this course should expect to be immersed in both.
