Waco, Texas (October 13, 2025) – Following extensive conversations with Seminary faculty, staff, alumni, and friends, and with strong support from Baylor University’s central administration, Truett Seminary announced today the formation of an Anglican Episcopal House of Studies.
As a strategic initiative of the Seminary in response to a growing number of Anglican and Episcopal students at Truett, this new graduate-level house of studies will cultivate theologically grounded, liturgically formed, and missionally engaged clergy and lay leaders for service in Anglican and Episcopal contexts.
“Since its inception, Baylor’s Truett Seminary has welcomed and trained ministers both within and beyond Baptist life. In recent years, especially through Truett’s Wesley House of Studies, our Seminary has enjoyed an influx of students from other Christian denominations. Indeed, there are currently no less than 26 different denominations represented in our school’s student body,” noted Truett Dean Todd D. Still, PhD. “The launching of the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies at Truett is due primarily to our commitment and desire to equip more fully the Anglican and Episcopalian students who are already studying with us and have been entrusted to us. Our present and future hope is that we would prepare them and other such seminarians well so that they might thoughtfully, faithfully, and skillfully serve as ministers of the gospel across this vast and vibrant communion of believers around the world.”
Truett Seminary, an orthodox, evangelical, multi-denominational school in the historic Baptist tradition, currently enrolls 15 students from various dioceses within the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), The Episcopal Church (USA), and from other provinces across the globe.
Through the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies, Truett aims to strengthen support for current students while deepening relationships with the ecclesial bodies already represented at the Seminary. The House will also seek to build new connections with other like-minded bishops, rectors, and prospective students.
