Class registration for the Lay School of Theology’s 2024 Advent semester is now open!
Classes will be December 4th, 11th, and 18th from 6:15pm to 8pm.
There are two classes to choose from:
“Reengaged Liturgy: Exploring Our Worship,” with Fr. Marcus Kaiser. Ever wonder why we do the things we do during Sunday worship? Or maybe you knew once but can’t quite remember! Worship in the Anglican tradition is rich in meaning and rooted in a millennia of tradition, but it can be easy to miss the depth and feel a bit lost. Come and learn the ‘what’ and ‘why’ in this deep dive into our Anglican liturgy. Whether you're a new or seasoned Anglican, this class will enrich your understanding of worship and help you worship more fully in spirit and in truth.
“Rethinking Heaven: Our Hope in This Life and the Next,” with Fr. Jeff Trostle. This three-part series focuses on the hope we have in Christ for the future and how that perspective impacts the way we live today. It will challenge preconceived ideas about the resurrection, life after death, Christ’s second coming and more. We will use N.T. Wright’s book Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church as our guide through the fog surrounding this future hope in Christ.
When: Wednesdays, 6:15–8:00 pm | December 4, 11, & 18
Location: St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral
Spots are limited, so please click below to register your spot! All are welcome, and the classes are free.

Come and Join us for our annual Lessons & Carols event followed by a delightful reception on the lawn. The history of lessons and carols goes back to Cambridge, England, 1918 where some felt there was a need for more imaginative and creative worship in the church. This advent service traditionally contains nine lessons from scripture telling the story of salvation from the waiting of the first coming of the messiah, Jesus Christ, to the second coming for which we now wait. The lessons are interspersed with beautiful choral anthems and advent congregational carols.
Cathedral Conversations: Art & Advent Lessons & Carols
Join us in the Nave from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM between services on December 8th for a special Advent Cathedral Conversation!
In this conversation, Jennifer Nicholson—alto section leader of the Cathedral Choir and art curator for the Advent Lessons & Carols and Lenten Requiem services—will share insights into the artistry and theology behind this year’s Lessons & Carols bulletin. Discover how she began her journey with liturgical art, the creative process, and the practical and theological considerations that shape the pairing of music and art. This is a unique chance to deepen your appreciation for the service and the beautiful visuals that accompany it.

Do you realize that the Lord commands us to sing? (Psalm 30, Colossians 3, among many references) Singing is not optional for believers. Our Lord expects us to sing and even with skill as much as our gifts allow (Psalm 33).
The theme of warfare and singing in scripture is a visible theme from King Jehosophat putting his singer soldiers at the front of the battle lines (2 Chronicles 20), to the Apostle Paul talking about fighting evil with songs from the Spirit (Ephesians 5). A singing heart is a heart at war with the work of the evil one and the power of sin.
There aren’t many places where you are trained to sing with skill but also with fellow believers in a Christian environment. (Ephesians 5:19).
The cathedral hosts three services on a normal Sunday, including evensong, which is made up of a lot of music. We need singers to do the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.

Being Formed in Beauty
Led by Clifton Rogge, Charles Simeon Fellow
This seven-week class examines the Christian life through the concept of beauty. From God’s redemptive act expressed in Scripture, to our responding to his active work in us, we behold God more completely when we open ourselves to the various forms of beauty within this self-revelation. The requires a sacrifice on our part that conditions our faith to makes us into disciples who reflect not only Christ’s restorative grace, but the beauty drawn from the life of God himself. This course is designed to conceptualize beauty as that which draws us into God and that which allows us to participate in God’s self-revelation as we are further transformed into his likeness.
Perspectives on Christians and Politics: A Discussion
Led by Cliff Nilson
Who does God want you to vote for in November? We don’t have the answer to that question, but we will look at what the Scriptures say about being a good citizen. Using the book, “Jesus and the Powers”, by N.T. Wright and Michael F. Bird, this class will discuss the role of Christians in politics. We will consider the historical perspective, the relationship of church and state, the impact of the kingdom of God in this age, whether Christians can oppose laws or rulers, and what kind of government God approves. The book is recommended but not required.
Parenting for Faith
Led by Jason and Frances Merritt
As parents, we are perfectly positioned and perfectly equipped to daily and easily show our children the reality of day-to-day life with God. God has shared with us in the Bible a simple plan for us to encourage our children into a vibrant, two-way relationship with God. This class will help parents to understand this plan and put it into practice. Class topics include finding a spiritual framework to make sense of life, unwinding false views of God, conversational prayer, discipling children in any season of life, prayer ministry for children, and connecting children with the Church.
Class Title: Common Worship: Prayer Book 101
When: Mondays, 6:15 – 7:30 pm | June 12–July 31
Led by: Fr. Michael Petty
Pathways 1, & 4
Using The Book of Common Prayer can be difficult if you are unfamiliar with it or if you have come from a non-liturgical background. If you have found yourself puzzled by the liturgy on Sunday or would like to be able to use the Book of Common Prayer in your daily prayer life, this class is for you. Over the course of seven weeks, we will explore the origins of the Book of Common Prayer, the history of Christian liturgy, the Daily Office (Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer), the theology of the sacraments, the Eucharist, Holy Baptism as a model for the Christian life, the Sunday collects and Scripture readings, the liturgies for Holy Matrimony, the anointing of the sick, Reconciliation, Ministry at the Time of Death, the seasons of the Church year, and the Prayer Book vision for individual and common worship and prayer. By the end of the class, you will not only have a better understanding of the “how” of Anglican worship but also a better understanding of the “why”. The resource book for this class is A Walk Through the Prayer Book by Arnold Klukas.
Kneeling With The Giants: Learning to Pray with History’s Best Teachers
Led by Ben Praamsma, Charles Simeon Fellow
What can our spiritual mothers and fathers teach us about prayer? Over the course of the summer, we will kneel alongside St. Benedict of Nursia, Theresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Ignatius of Loyola, George Herbert, and John Calvin, learning their unique gifts to the great tradition of prayer. We’ll get to know these friends and their stories, but also spend time praying like they did, with the hope of enriching our private and congregational prayer lives.
