Prayer Book Theology

Bryan brings decades of theological scholarship, church planting experience, and a deep commitment to mere christianity to his role as Dean and President of Trinity Anglican Seminary. After earning his MDiv at Fuller Theological Seminary and his Ph.D. from Baylor University, Bryan served as Professor of Theology at Malone University for sixteen years, where he authored Everything is Sacred: Spiritual Exegesis in the Political Theology of Henri de Lubac alongside numerous scholarly articles.

Bryan's formation has been both academic and pastoral. Ordained a priest in the Anglican Church in North America in 2015, he planted and pastored St. John's Anglican Church in Canton, Ohio, guiding the congregation until a full-time Rector was called in 2021. His work as Resident Theologian and Director of the C.S. Lewis Institute of Northeast Ohio deepened his commitment to the great consensual tradition Lewis described as "Mere Christianity," a vision that now shapes Trinity's mission to form leaders.

As Dean and President, Bryan leads Trinity in providing aligned, rooted, and competent formation for the next generation of Anglican ministers. He continues engaging the broader church through his Substack, A Mere Christian on the Anglican Way, where he reflects on theological faithfulness and Anglican identity.

Bryan and his wife Suzanne met at Baylor University and were married in 1993. They have three grown children: Harrison, Claire, and John.
