This course introduces students to the cataclysmic changes that attended the nineteenth, twentieth, and the beginning of the twenty first centuries, especially with respect to new theological thought in the context of Anglican identity. By surveying some of the main thinkers form this time, this course examines major theological themes that are addressed, such as the nature of Scripture, baptism, the Eucharist, and the nature of the church. This course will use the governing theme of a particularly Anglican use of Scripture in order to assess and analyze the various thinkers during the historical error.

Christians have agreed that music is essential to worship, following upon the injunction from Paul in the letter to the Ephesians that they should be filled with the Holy Spirit "addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs." (Eph 5:19, ESV) Paul states that addressing one another in hymns, psalms and spiritual songs is a fundamental part of our ethic as a Christian community. But in Western culture, communal singing cannot be taken for granted: it must be cultivated. To follow the injunction of Paul, churches must be singing culture-makers. Recent studies on singing have that confirmed Paul's ethic has tangible effects on the Christian community. Singing not only brings physical health benefits such as stress relief, it also aids social integration and relational development. This class is two-part. The theological role of music in worship will be introduced through a historical survey that focuses on song styles and forms. Practical skills in choosing, introducing, and supporting congregational singing will be gained through communal singing in class, lectures on basic musicianship, and presentations that examine available resources. Current approaches to congregational singing will be examined from a historical and theological position, including "traditional" and "contemporary" styles (and we will learn why those terms are inadequate, at the very least). Special attention will be given to historical and contemporary Anglican liturgy and music.
This course is an exploration of the historical. rise of the broad Evangelical movement and its internal theological particularities. The course will cover material from the Reformation through the British Isles in the 17th and 18th centuries and examine the profusion of Evangelical expressions in contemporary North American Christianity. Questions of evangelical identity and coherence will be discussed as well as recent theological tensions within North America.
The first half of the course will be devoted to the historical narrative of Evangelical thought rooted in the Reformation and ending with the Fundamentalist movement. The second half of the class will be more topical in nature, covering contemporary North American Evangelicalism's ecclesiology, theological method, ethics, ecumenical posture, and relationship to pub lib life. The goal of the course is to introduce the modern Evangelical movement to those students who are unfamiliar with it and to provide a trans-denominational perspective for students well-versed in one particular expression of the movement.

This course includes reading and basic knowledge of the core liturgical rites for the Divine Eucharist in the Byzantine (Orthodox and Eastern Catholic) churches, and also includes the liturgical history of the evolution of those rites. Guest lectures will also cover the Eucharistic liturgies of the Oriental Orthodox churches, specifically the Coptic and Ethiopian rites. The course's aim includes not only archaeological-historical knowledge or simple encounter with these texts and rubrics, but also theological grasp of the significance, the reasons, the deep exegetical meanings, and also the 'poetics', which underlie the present form of Eucharistic rites. In the Orthodox Way, in Liturgy, the Orthodox faithful discover the reality of church as community and the final reality of theosis, the way toward God.
