The John Rodgers Lecture Series
Join Dr. Alex Fogleman, Trinity's Associate Dean of Special Programs and author of Making Disciples, as he retrieves the riches of Anglican catechesis for a generation searching for peace, purpose, and joy in the Gospel.
An exploration into how Anglican tradition—rooted in "mere Christianity" and the ancient creeds—offers a compelling vision for doctrinal fidelity today. Discover what it truly means to be Anglican and why Nicaea still matters 1,700 years later.
Dr. Alex Fogleman is Associate Dean for Special Programs and Assistant Professor of Theology at Trinity Anglican Seminary, where he oversees the Robert E. Webber Center and directs the Doctor of Ministry program. He also chairs the Catechesis Task Force for the Anglican Church of North America. He holds a BS from North Carolina State University, an MDiv from Regent College (2016), and a PhD in Patristics and Historical Theology from Baylor University (2021), and his research centers on Latin and Greek patristics, the history of catechesis, and theological accounts of human flourishing. He's the author of Knowledge, Faith, and Early Christian Initiation (Cambridge University Press, 2023) and Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice (Eerdmans, 2025).

Bishop John H. Rodgers was a founding faculty member and the second Dean President of Trinity Anglican Seminary (formerly Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry). Known for his evangelical passion and theological clarity, he was instrumental in shaping the seminary’s vision to combine biblical education with evangelistic fire. Rodgers was a key leader in the Anglican renewal movement, a champion of the Thirty-Nine Articles, and a mentor to generations of clergy. His legacy continues to inspire Trinity’s mission and the broader Anglican Church in North America.
Founded in 2023, the lecture series honors Bishop Rodgers' legacy. The series explores the theological distinctives of the English Reformation, especially those found in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, and aims to equip today’s church with robust, faithful teaching for a fractured world. Lectures are held annually near Reformation Day and are open to the public, both in-person and online.
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.
