Bexley Hall Seminary is an accredited seminary
of the Episcopal Church in the United States (ECUSA) located in
Rochester, New York. The Columbus campus is now an accredited extension
site for the awarding of the M.Div. degree. This program is available
to postulants for holy orders in the Episcopal Church, churches
in communion with the See of Canterbury, and churches in ecumenical
dialog with the Episcopal Church.
Bexley Hall also offers a Certificate of Anglican Studies to students
registered at Trinity in other degree programs and Anglican students
from non-Episcopal seminaries who need additional Anglican formation.
The goal of the Bexley M.Div. and the Anglican Studies concentration
is to provide an Anglican formation for seminarians as well as to
prepare them in the seven canonical areas specified by the Episcopal
Church for the General Ordination Examination: Holy Scripture; Church
History with Ecumenism and Mission; Christian Theology; Liturgy
and Church Music; Ethics and Moral Theology; Theory and Practice
of Ministry; and Contemporary Society.
Regular requirements of the Trinity Lutheran Seminary Master of
Divinity curriculum cover these canonical areas either totally (e.g.,
Holy Scripture, Ethics and Moral Theology, and Contemporary Society),
or in part (e.g., Church History with Ecumenism and Mission, Christian
Theology, and Theory and Practice of Ministry).
