Welcome to Anglican Diocese of the Eastern United States

---

At the Anglican Diocese of the Eastern United States, we believe in the power of God's love and grace to transform lives. We believe in the Holy Trinity and that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again on the third day.

We are not standing still.  We have a vision to reintroduce a whole new generation to Christ through the beauty and mystery of the Anglican tradition.

Our worship is grounded in the 1928 Prayer Book as a faithful expression of the Anglican Faith which is truly reformed and catholic.

It is not just about the doctrines that we believe, but the way we live them out. It is not simply about the documents, it is about the ethos, or life, of our people

 At Common Prayer, you can find the correct readings for Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, Holy Communion, and various feasts of the Church.   

 At St. Augustine's Institute of Theology, our mission is to prepare students to become effective leaders in ministry through rigorous academic study, spiritual formation, and practical 

experience.  Our program is not a replacement for a standard seminary program, but to empower those in the Late Vocations process to have a quality learning experience coupled with practical skills to produce good parish lay leaders, deaconesses, deacons, and priests. 

We are not a degree granting institute!  We offer programs which lead to certification in various areas of ministry.  Our different program tracks are:

Certificate in Anglican Studies

Certificate in Deaconess Ministry

Certificate in Diaconal Ministry

Certificate in Sacerdotal (Priestly) Ministry

 Our programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge and practical skills they need to serve in a variety of ministry contexts.

 Our faculty members are experienced scholars and practitioners who are committed to helping students grow in their knowledge of scripture, theology, and pastoral ministry. They bring a wealth of diverse perspectives and experiences to the classroom and to our workshops. 

Saint Bede’s Anglican Catholic Theological College is a virtual college established in 2001 to serve the needs of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada and Traditional Anglican Church, as well as other Continuing Anglican Churches. The College provides online academic, spiritual and pastoral training of men for the ordained ministry; post-secondary theological education for lay people; and post-ordination training and professional development.  The College is a registered charity and not-for-profit post-secondary theological institution incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada.

Saint Bede’s College provides candidates for ordination the necessary theological study, spiritual formation and pastoral training for ordination to the Sacred Orders of Deacon and Priest in the Traditional Anglican Church and other Continuing Anglican Churches.

As a ‘virtual’ theological college, St. Bede’s offers its program of theological studies and spiritual formation by means of an on-line distance education platform, together with resident tutorials, utilizing computer technology and electronic communications. Candidates for ordination may undertake their studies on either a full-time or part-time basis. Upon successful completion of the prescribed program of theological studies and ministry preparation, the candidate is granted either a Bachelor in Theology (B.Th.) or a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) by the Board of Regents and is recommended for ordination to their Diocesan Bishop. For those students and postulants undertaking courses to upgrade their theological formation or to broaden their theological knowledge, a transcript of courses successfully completed is issued. Admission to the College’s course of studies is restricted to members of the Traditional Anglican Church and other Continuing Anglican Churches with the approval of the Board of Regents.

 Are you looking for an exciting new way to practice your ministry? The Chaplain Candidate Program in the United States Armed Forces may be right for you. The chaplain candidate programs allow seminary students to gain ministry experience and serve their country while studying for ordination. The United States Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Navy, Reserve and Air Force Reserve all provide a chaplain candidate program for seminary students who are interested in becoming military chaplains. Chaplain candidates are full time seminary students who have graduated with a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with at least 120 semester hours. Chaplain candidates are directly commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants or Ensigns (O-1) and attend a basic officer's training course. Chaplain candidates are paid as officers (O-1) and may also receive educational benefits as well. Chaplain candidates endorsed by the Anglican Church in America should be practicing Anglicans pursing ordination to the priesthood through the canonical process of one of the ACA dioceses. The various branches of the military have different requirements for join their chaplain candidate programs. The requirements can be found at these locations:
