As we open our hearts to God’s presence around us and to the ways God speaks to our hearts in this liminal season of Epiphany 2025, you are invited to take one or more courses in Theological Studies and to learn how the Church prepares people to be beacons of light and hope in this dark world.
You may have heard of the Western Educational Collaborative Anglican Network of Western and Northern Canadian Dioceses that have worked closely with the Anglican College of Emmanuel and St. Chad based physically in Saskatoon. This partnership has developed an on-the-ground, contextually and practically-oriented Licentiate in Theology program that is offered in person and online through local diocesan courses resourced and supported in various ways through E.S.C. College. This kind of spiritual and practical support in your walk with the Triune Christian God is literally available at your fingertips.
Learn how God shows Godself in special ways to people through their perception and conceptual and various learning styles. Consider learning about Stages of Faith, Adult Christian Education, and effective ways of teaching children in the ESC-WECAN Licentiate in Theology program called Teaching and Learning. This course takes place online on Thursday evenings in February and March 2025 with Instructors: Fiona Brownlee of Edmonton Diocese and Rev. Dr. Trish McCarthy of Saskatoon Theological Union.
God regularly reveals the divine triune self through a person’s disciplined Spiritual Life. Mark your calendars for the Fall 2025 ESC-WECAN Spiritual Practices and Spiritual Formation Course with Rev. Dr. Trish McCarthy on Thursday evenings in September and October 2025! Learn about tried-and-true ways of opening the self to God’s love and grace using Spiritual Practices such as: the Liturgy of the Hours, Eucharist, Prayer Walking, Body Prayer, breath prayer, Taize services, Spiritual Direction, Labyrinth walking and many other patterns of prayer.
In late 2025, take in the ESC-WECAN Leadership course taught by: Bishop David Greenwood of Athabasca Anglican Diocese, Kyle Schiefelbein-Guerrero of the Lutheran Theological Seminary and Rev. Dr. Trish McCarthy of the Anglican College of Emmanuel and St. Chad. You will learn some thoughtful and proven ways of leading people into a closer walk with God in Jesus Christ.
All through this year, you can experience God’s divine revelation and perhaps become acquainted with God on more visceral and heart levels. Learn new ways to open your heart to God through reading, praying and reflecting on Divine Epiphanies. Find elsewhere in this Sask. Anglican the whole ESC-WECAN 2025 Course Schedule. Register for any of the above courses on our website: esc-wecan.ca. Spiritual Practice, Leadership and Teaching are key in the Christian’s tool-box for a life of faithful witness. Your deeper, reflective journey with God can get a kick-start in the 2025 Season of Epiphany. Join us!
