Anglican Tours

Tour Course in Anglican History and Spirituality

designed and escorted by:
The Rev. Dr. Susanna Metz, Assistant Professor of Contextual Education, and The Rev. Anne Beardsley Chisham, Director, Anglican Tours

This tour-course is open to anyone who desires to study and experience the special historical heritage of Christianity in England and the living spiritual life of the present Church of England. The course is meant especially for Sewanee D.Min., S.T.M., M.Div., and M.A. students and alumni/alumnae, and EfM participants. Spouses and friends are most welcome.  The time together is intended to be, and indeed has been for those who have gone in previous years, both an educational and enjoyable "sight-seeing" trip and a deeply moving spiritual pilgrimage. For purposes both of knowledge and prayer, our itinerary includes many of the great cathedrals, as well as parish churches, colleges and monasteries. Most evenings we attend Choral Evensong, one of the greatest contributions of Anglicanism to Christian worship. Throughout the tour we have talks on the Church in England, both past and present, and a formal tour of one of the cathedrals. We will have some planned group get-togethers in which we blend the joy of learning and discussion with community building through the fun of pub evenings, shared meals, and other social interaction. Join us on this pilgrimage to the land in which our Episcopal religious heritage formed, grew, and continues.
