Anglican Studies Program Features

Fulfilling Regent Requirements on Location in Oxford

Regent College students desiring to study at Wycliffe Hall need to be able to meet the admission standards set by Oxford University. The course requirements for Regent students are those set by Regent's Master of Divinity degree. It is expected that some Anglican studies courses will be taken on site in Oxford during the two ten-week terms (which overlap with Oxford University's academic terms)—late September to early December and January through mid-March.

Requirements for Regent MDiv Students

Anglican ordination is dependent upon candidates having the support of their local bishop and meeting the requirements set by their bishop and diocese. Ordinands who are under the supervision of a bishop will normally complete the requirements of Regent's Master of Divinity program. Within this program they will be expected to complete specific courses in Anglican history, theology and polity.

In addition, ordinands will be expected to take part in worship at the College, carry out supervised ministry in parishes, and come under the care of the Anglican chaplain at Regent College.

The Holistic Education of the Program

It is Regent College's conviction that theological education is not achieved simply within the context of academic courses; the ethos of both the College and the program reflect this concern for a holistic formation of Christian persons. Theological education involves spiritual formation. It is an organic process which entails the totality of learning, discourse, personal relationships, and involvement in a worshipping and serving community.

Anglican Worship

All Regent College students are welcome to participate in the Anglican worship which is part of this program. Worship is central to the fostering of an integration of study and faith. For those intent on ordination, these worship services (including the weekly Eucharist) will afford practice in planning, presiding and preaching. The rites used will be the Book of Common Prayer and the Book of Alternative Services.

Chaplain

As mentioned above, the program's chaplain, the Rev. Jim Salladin, will be available to students for advice, and as personal mentors.

Field Placement Program

The Regent Professor of Ministries will handle field placements for participating Master of Divinity students in consultation with the Anglican chaplain and with co-operating bishops and clergy.
