Course Description

This course will survey the history of the establishment and expansion of member churches of the Anglican Communion, including those in the British Isles, Africa, Asia, Latin America, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Students will be encouraged to develop an integrative approach that combines biblical, historical, cultural, and theological perspectives in practical missiological reflection, using the emergence of the global Anglican Communion as the central “case study.”


Course Objectives

• To learn how Anglicanism has moved from being an English state church to being a communion of member churches throughout the world.
• To understand the difficulties and opportunities involved when the gospel moves across cultural boundaries in mission and when a family of churches attempts to maintain some form of global unity.
• Develop a personal definition of “mission” that can serve as a guide in practical ministry planning and evaluation.
• For each student to learn about one part of the Anglican Communion in some depth, while applying a missiological framework, in order to describe the unique contributions for mission thinking and practice suggested by the specific area of the Anglican world the student studies.
