The Anglican Way
The Anglican Way in ministry
Pacific Theological Seminary: Spring 2025
The Rev. Canon David Montzingo, D.Min.
Assistant Professor for Anglican Studies
Anglican Christians have a distinctive way of doing ministry based on the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, the English pastoral tradition, thoughtful holiness, and mission-mindedness. This course explores what that ministry looks like in specific areas of church life, utilizing presentations by skilled practitioners (lay and clergy) and discussions of assigned reading about specific areas of church life. This course is designed both for those preparing for ordained ministry and those engaged in lay ministry. No prerequisite courses are required.
The overall purpose of this course is to equip students with the best practices for practical church ministry in the following areas: personal spiritual life, church governance and administration, spiritual formation of children and adults, teaching and preaching, small group development, pastoral care, musical worship, healing prayer, friendship evangelism, and world missions.
This class will meet Mondays 4:00-6:50 pm, from February 3 to May 12 (except March 24). It may be audited online via Zoom, or taken for credit or audited in person at the seminary building, 8977 Activity Road, Suite 100, San Diego 92126 (one block off Miramar Road).
The cost of this class is $900 when taken for credit; $300 when audited; $150 when audited by Bethel Seminary San Diego alumni, clergy and spouses, full-time employees of Christian ministry agencies and spouses, or senior citizens (60+).
