Cathedral College

In September 2025, Cathedral College, a new seminary born out of a partnership between the Cathedral of the Incarnation, Mercer School of Theology in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island and Codrington College in Barbados, will welcome at least seven seminarians at Cathedral Close in Garden City, New York. The Center for Spiritual Imagination is working with Mercer and Codrington on the spiritual formation piece of this dynamic new seminary.

Cathedral College will offer one-on-one mentorship, small-group tutorials, and shared sacramental life, as seminarians live in a community space where they can receive an understanding of pastoral ministry as incarnational service within the Body of Christ.

Students will come from both Mercer and Codrington as they pursue a two-year accredited program that will lead to a Master of Arts in Theology and Spirituality. In partnership with the Center for Spiritual Imagination, seminarians will nurture the foundational virtues for deepening their sacramental worldview and developing their rule of life, which involves the practice of Benedictine stability, Carmelite contemplation, and Franciscan simplicity.

Residency terms allow those attending Cathedral College to encounter diverse expressions of Anglican faith, worship, and culture, as they spend time both at Cathedral Close and the Codrington College campus in Barbados.
