ST 712 / 812
Mode: In-person
Tuition: $1650 (credit) / $275 (audit)
Community life fee: $90

In this three-day course, Malcolm Guite will explore the role of the imagination as a “truth-bearing faculty” to help us, in Shakespeare’s words, “to apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends.” The focus throughout will be Christo-centric: How we come to know and love Christ, and how we allow him to know and love us? Over the course of the three days, we will explore Christ and the poetic imagination, Christ and the moral imagination, and Christ and the prophetic imagination.

Course schedule:

7:45 – 8:30 AM Morning Prayer and Eucharist
8:30 – 9:30 AM Breakfast
9:40 AM – 12:30 PM Class Session I (auditors and credit-bearing students)

4:30 – 5:15 PM Evening Prayer / Evensong

*Please note that the afternoon class sessions are only for students taking the class for credit. All students are welcome at worship and meals. Auditors will only be present for this course in the mornings on June 5-7, and will pay a reduced $275 audit fee along with the $90 campus life fee.

On Tuesday, June 6, from 5:30 – 7:30 PM, the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite will read his poetry for an event that is open to the public. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Breck Conference

Edward Bouverie Pusey and the Monastic Tradition

A hallmark of the nineteenth-century Oxford Movement was its recovery of the early and medieval Christian tradition, including the re-establishment of monasticism in 1841 when Marion Hughes vowed poverty, chastity, and obedience. This moment was the result of much work by John Henry Newman and, in particular, Edward Bouverie Pusey. Pusey was convinced of monasticism’s antiquity and saw it as a natural corollary to a proper understanding of the Scriptures and the Patristic Fathers on the spiritual life. He believed that monasteries must exist in Anglicanism in order to be a “great relief” for those looking to experience union with God. Thus, the 2023 James Lloyd Breck Conference on Monasticism and the Church seeks to investigate Pusey’s theology in order to see how he understood the Church and her “system” in such a way as to require monasticism.

Registration fees: 

Pre-Conference: $120

Conference: $200

Those taking the Breck Conference for credit will pay tuition of $1,650 and may request an application for the course here.

For those seeking to attend TBC for credit or audit:

To audit The Breck Conference, participants will pay a $275 audit fee. Auditors are expected at both the pre-conference and conference. Auditors will still be responsible to pay the $90 community life fee.

Students taking the course for credit will pay the normal $1650 tuition fee.

Students who pay to audit or take the Breck Conference for credit do not pay the conference fees ($200 for conference / $120 for pre-conference) and should register via Populi.

Cosmos as Liturgy: Angels, Temple, and Scripture

The Rev. Dr. Matthew S. C. Olver and the Rev. Dr. Nathan Jennings

*This course is now at capacity. Those interested may register to be on the waitlist. 

LT 710 / 810
Mode: In-person
Tuition: $1650 (Credit) / $550 (Audit)
Community life fee: $105

Recent scholarship in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, sacrifice in Second Temple Judaism and early Christian studies, and classical Christian angelology converge to resource liturgical theology in dynamic and challenging ways. In this seminar, we will explore the relationship of Christian ritual mystery to ancient sacrifice and near eastern cosmology. Professors Jennings and Olver invite students into their research in these areas in order to guide the students in setting their own research agendas and projects. Students submit a two-page summary of one of the assigned course texts and provide a 20-minute class presentation. At the conclusion of the class, students submit a 20-page research or interpretive paper on a topic or text determined through conversation with the professors.

At the end of the course, students should have a new appreciation for the Old Testament as an integrated whole, and for its potential as a resource for the Christian journey. This is the first of a two-part “complex” (OT511-512) that introduces students to the Old Testament.

*This course is now at capacity. Those interested may register to be on the waitlist. 

HT 720 / 820
Mode: In-person
Tuition: $1650 (Credit) / $550 (Audit)
Community life fee: $105

How are we to understand the relationship between creator and creature? The modern approach has been to radically separate them by banishing God upstairs. Isolation from God hasn’t brought us the happiness for which we long. Instead, loneliness, alienation, and loss of direction have been the result. In this course, we turn to the Great Tradition—both East and West—in search of an alternative: created participation in the uncreated life of God. By carefully exploring writings of theologians such as Augustine, Dionysius, Maximus, and Aquinas, we will get a glimpse of a richer, more meaningful world, one that is enchanted through participation in God.

The Truth of the Gospel: Galatians and the Heart of the Christian Good News

The Rev. Dr. Wesley Hill

NT 710 / 810
Mode: In-person
Tuition: $1650 (Credit) / $550 (Audit)
Community life fee: $105

St. Paul’s letter to the Galatians was written in a white heat of passion to safeguard what Paul calls “the truth of the gospel” against a particularly insidious imposter. This course will explore Paul’s defense of his gospel with a view to what it entails for today’s Church as we face our own challenges of fidelity to the truth and the rejection of counterfeits.

Practical Liturgics for the Parish Priest

The Rev. Dr. Matthew S. C. Olver

LT 601H
Mode: In-person
Tuition: $1650 (Credit) / $550 (Audit)
Community life fee: $105

The goal of this course is to prepare those intending to serve as priests in the Anglican tradition in all aspects of liturgical priestcraft. Focus is given to the principles that undergird Western ceremonial and its application to Anglican liturgies, along with vestments, the furnishings of a church, the liturgical calendar, and lectionaries. Considerable attention is given to the celebration of the Mass in all its possible varieties (sung and spoken, ad orientem and versus populum, traditional and contemporary language), as well as Christian initiation (baptism and confirmation), Holy Matrimony, Christian Burial, and the special liturgies of the liturgical year.
