2026 Summer Courses

Hilary Bogert-Winkler
Assistant Professor of Liturgy

This course examines the history of the development of the Book of Common Prayer in the United States, with an eye towards Canada and Mexico as well. Course topics include the revisions of 1789, 1892, 1928, and 1979. Special attention will be paid to the Liturgical Movement of the mid-twentieth century and its implications for the revision of 1979. The course will also look towards possibilities for future Prayer Book revision.

Rob MacSwain  
Professor of Theology

Long overshadowed by the disciplines of biblical, historical, and liturgical studies, in the 1980s systematic and constructive theology in the Anglican tradition began an impressive renaissance that continues to this day. This seminar will engage selectively with several representative figures whose work has been especially influential or intellectually significant in recent decades, ranging from the Church of England to the Episcopal Church (USA) to current postcolonial concerns.

Warren Thomas Swenson
Instructor of Homiletics

This course will explore the distinctive historical, theological, and homiletical features of preaching within Anglican and other liturgical traditions. Special attention will be paid to key figures and moments in the history of preaching, to the development of the student's own theology of preaching, and to the contemporary practice of preaching in liturgical contexts. Students will present sermons in class as a part of their graded work.
