About the Conference

In lieu of a formal conference this year, we are taking this year’s annual summer AEF gathering—in conjunction with the Anglican Church in North America Provincial Council (June 16-20)—as an opportunity to gather leaders from across the ACNA to reflect on the question of theological formation in the ACNA. In particular, what are the main challenges and opportunities for Anglican Christians in North America to form both clergy and laity in the Anglican faith, and how can current and future efforts align to meet our goals? 

We face unique challenges in our time—from cultivating Christian virtue and biblical wisdom to interpreting and engaging an increasingly secular culture. Through the Robert Webber Center and other initiatives at Trinity Anglican Seminary, we are committed to forming leaders who can both embody the fullness of Anglican spirituality and effectively “re-narrate the world” with the Gospel, helping people see beyond secular narratives to embrace God’s transformative truth. 

This year, we are inviting a small group of ACNA leaders both to share and to learn from one another, and to imagine together how we can strengthen the formation of Anglican Christians across North America. We will hear from a variety of bishops, clergy, and lay leaders working at the intersection of the church and theological formation, broadly conceived. Our goal is to understand better the challenges of Anglican theological formation in our time and to envision ways of addressing these challenges that remain faithful to the Gospel of Christ and the Anglican Way.
