WHAT
THIS COMMUNITY IS ABOUT
Welcome
to St. Anselm of Canterbury, the
Episcopal Church’s continuous ministry
at the University of Oklahoma since
1910. We are a diverse community
of university students, faculty,
staff and friends dedicated to hospitality,
prayer, worship and study in the
Anglican tradition. We want to be
your spiritual home during your
years at OU.
Because we live
in a community of enquiry, we are
something different than the church
you grew up in. Here, you will find
an environment readily open to embracing
the hard questions about church,
faith and the Christian message.
It is our belief that you do not
have to leave your faith at the
door when you arrive at the university.
In fact, this may be the most fertile
spiritual time of your life. Yet,
we hold fast to the theological
and worship traditions of the Episcopal
Church. We celebrate diversity,
community, and a life and ministry
unbound by scriptural literalism.
Here, you will have an opportunity
to explore how your study and chosen
vocation is an integral part of
your own Christian ministry to the
world.
Our central location
makes stopping by for relaxation,
study or companionship a favorite
activity for many. Or, come by and
enjoy your favorite television show
with friends while you do wash in
our member’s laundry facility. High-speed
wireless internet is also available
for your use.
Whether your interest
is in worship, community activities,
Christian social action, Bible study
or individual spiritual direction,
St. Anselm of Canterbury is here
for you when you get to Norman and
the University of Oklahoma.
Wishing you every
blessing in your college journey,
I am yours,
In friendship,
The Rev.
