Disciple-making in the Anglican Tradition
A theological and pastoral exploration of Anglican discipleship shaped by C.S. Lewis’s “hallway and rooms” metaphor. Beginning with the shared foundations of mere Christianity, the course opens the door to the “Anglican room,” tracing how Scripture, creed, and sacrament form a distinctive way of following Jesus. Students engage historical anchors from the English Reformation to the global communion, examine the Book of Common Prayer as a school of prayer and life, and consider practices such as catechesis, the daily office, Eucharistic worship, and parish life. Throughout, we connect doctrine to devotion and mission, articulating how Anglican convictions cultivate mature disciples in today’s church and world.
Paul Gutacker serves as Executive Director of Brazos Fellows, an Anglican community in Waco, TX committed to a common rule of life. He holds the Ph.D. in History (Baylor University) and a M.A. in Theological Studies and Th.M. in History of Christianity (Regent College). He has written several books, including The Old Faith in a New Nation: American Protestants and the Christian Past (Oxford University Press, 2023) and, most recently Practicing Life Together: A Common Rule for Christian Growth (Moody Publishers, 2025). Paul, Paige, and their four children enjoy living in Waco and sharing life with the Brazos Fellows. When he’s not teaching, he enjoys sharing his favorite pastimes with their kids: cooking, fishing, reading, and rooting for the Buffalo Bills.
Trinity is to be an evangelical seminary in the Anglican tradition. To this end we develop Christian leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
