The Anglican Union for the Propagation of the Gospel, formed in 2018
The Center for Theological Leadership Training (CTLT) is a distinguished ministry of the Anglican Union for the Propagation of the Gospel. Through its branch, St. Aidan’s Institute, CTLT provides a uniquely flexible and affordable pathway to fully accredited theological education, firmly grounded in the Old and New Testaments, rooted in the Anglican tradition, and committed to the faith once delivered to the saints.
The programs are built on the Celtic model established by St. Aidan of Lindisfarne, who blended practical evangelistic zeal with academic rigor to spread the Gospel in seventh-century England. Classes are accessible in a variety of formats, including online learning and intensive weekend sessions, allowing our students to remain engaged in local ministry while they study. This integration of rigorous theological education and concurrent service in ministry provides a practical and highly sustainable model for training church leaders in the 21st century.
