Who We Are
Named after the prolific 16th century Anglican churchman and theologian William Whitaker, the Whitaker Fellowship is a residential fellowship in Hillsdale, MI that forms college students in the Anglican tradition’s rich historical, theological, and liturgical inheritance.
What We Do
Whitaker Fellows participate in seminar discussions on foundational Anglican texts led by Anglican scholars and clergy, read works of Anglican theology, and pray the Daily Office together. In addition to this intellectual and spiritual formation, fellows also gain professional development opportunities by working on various projects for the Whitaker Fellowship’s sponsor, Prolego Press.
Fellowship readings include works by Thomas Cranmer, Richard Hooker, William Whitaker, John Donne, George Herbert, Lancelot Andrewes, John Davenant, J. C. Ryle, T. S. Eliot, and C. S. Lewis.
Why We Do It
We desire that college students experience the fullness of the Anglican tradition through study and prayer, grounded in the historic Anglican formularies, shaped by a shared life, and organized around common worship at Holy Trinity Hillsdale (ACNA). Thus equipped, they can bring this inheritance with them to their local parish.
