A Global Community of Learning

The Commission for Theological Education in the Anglican Communion (CTEAC)

The Commission for Theological Education in the Anglican Communion (CTEAC) supports theological formation around the world. It enhances networking across seminaries and churches, facilitates meetings and develops online resources.

The commission aims to bridge geographical divides and resource disparities, creating a dynamic “network of networks” where best practices, curricular resources, and theological insights are shared freely. By connecting educators and institutions, the commission enriches works to support people in ordination, engage people in theology and equip God’s people for discipleship and mission in a rapidly evolving world.

“None of us has a complete picture of Christ and others have a different view from their perspective. As we learn from one another, we gain a bigger and richer picture of the One we follow.”

The Revd Canon Dr Stephen Spencer, Adviser for Theological Education
Our Strategic Focus

Connecting Educators to Equip the Church

The Commission operate as a central hub for pedagogical innovation and peer-to-peer support.

The commission works to be decentralised and collaborative, facilitating high-level regional consultations and workshops that amplify voices from across the Communion, particularly the Global South.

Seminaries and training programmes are invited to formally join the Commission’s global network, gaining direct access to a recognised platform for collaboration and validation.

CTEAC unites representatives from diverse regions of the Communion to ensure a truly global perspective. These distinguished theological educators, bishops, and scholars collaborate to lead this vital ongoing conversation.
