The
Diaconate in the Diocese of New Jersey: The curriculum for The School for Deacons is designed to be faithful to the Anglican tradition of an educated clergy. A rigorous course of study, taught by seminary professors, equips students with the academic and practical knowledge necessary for their ministry as deacons in the church and the world. The three-year program meets on Saturdays throughout the academic year covering the seven canonical areas required for ordination to the Diaconate: Holy Scripture, Church History, Christian Theology, Christian Ethics and Moral Theology, Studies in Contemporary Society including racial and other minority groups; Liturgics; and the Theory and Practice of Ministry. A Liturgics Practicum and a Homiletics Practicum, an additional unit of New Testament and a Pastoral Theology unit have all been added to the curriculum to further enhance the education of our deacons in training.
