Anglican Studies - Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest

Anglican Studies from Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Diploma in Anglican Studies (DAS) is a one year qualification designed to meet the needs of those seeking ordination in the Episcopal Church who have either completed a Master of Divinity in a non-Episcopal school or who have initially studied for ordination with a diocesan school or program. The DAS is also suitable for laity who want a foundational education in Anglican theology , spirituality, and polity. The DAS is designed for flexibility to meet diocesan requirements as well as student interests. The program's director, Dr. Nathan Jennings, works individually with students in planning their year and helping them get the most of their time with us. Field education is a vital component of all training for ordained ministry. Our professor of Contextual Theology, Kathleen Russell, works with the DAS students and a team of clergy supervisors to ensure the most pedagogically effective experience. DAS students also take up responsibilities for worship and preaching in the Seminary chapel. Opportunities exist for education, mandated by dioceses, in anti-racism, professional sexual ethics, "Safeguarding God's Children" and "Title IV". An Anglican Studies year is a rare opportunity to combine classroom study of Anglicanism with living and praying within an Episcopal community, being formed by its ethos and spirituality.
