Join our Anglican students for lunch!
The Institute of Anglican Studies
We serve the Anglican Communion and broader Christian church by providing education in the history, theology and worship of the Anglican tradition.
The worship and doctrine of Anglican Christianity are saturated with and anchored in Holy Scripture, grounded in the confession of the Holy Trinity as expressed in the ancient creeds, and rooted in the theology of the Reformation.
A historically and globally expansive tradition, the “formularies” of the Reformation era—the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Homilies, and the Ordinal—give shape to a communion that prays, professes and proclaims what the prayerbook calls “the comfortable words.”
Join us each Wednesday from 7:15-8 a.m. in Hodges Chapel for morning prayer.

Reformation Anglicanism Lecture
The Institute of Anglican Studies at Beeson Divinity School and the Wittenberg Center for Reformation Studies (Wittenberg, Germany) are pleased to present the Reformation Anglicanism Lecture each year in Beeson’s Hodges Chapel.
The 2025 lecture will be held Feb. 3 at 5 p.m. in Hodges Chapel. The Rev. Dr. John Yates III will speak on the topic of holy Scripture in the Anglican tradition, with a reception to follow the event in the Beeson Commons. Yates is the rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. He served as study assistant to John Stott from 1996-1999 and later earned an MA in Theology from King's College, an MDiv from Trinity School for Ministry in Pennsylvania and a PhD in New Testament from Cambridge University in England.
Each year, this event will include an evening lecture by an internationally recognized scholar exploring the relationship between the history, theology, worship and pastoral significance of the English Reformation and the broader tradition of Anglican Christianity.
