Gordon-Conwell to Launch Anglican Degree Program
07/11/2006

Seeking to attract students who feel alienated from The Episcopal Church, Gordon-Conwell, an evangelical protestant seminary with headquarters in South Hamilton, Mass., announced recently that it will begin an Anglican degree program.

“We really are being opportunistic here,” said Barry H. Corey, academic dean in an interview with the Boston Globe.

Gordon-Conwell, which currently has just a few Episcopalians among its faculty and a few dozen students among a student body of 2,000, is planning to add courses in Anglican prayer, liturgy and governance. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a master’s degree in divinity. In developing and implementing the degree program, Dean Corey said Gordon-Conwell will collaborate with two Episcopal seminaries: Nashotah House in Nashotah, Wis., and Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa.
