The Merton School

The Merton School is a theological movement within the Anglican tradition that emphasizes the importance of Scripture, reason, and tradition as sources of understanding faith. Named after the 16th-century theologian John Merton, it advocates for a balanced approach to theology, encouraging believers to interpret the Bible thoughtfully, use rational inquiry, and respect historical doctrines. The school aims to foster a thoughtful, open-minded faith that engages with modern issues while remaining rooted in Christian heritage. Its approach promotes theological reflection that is both intellectually honest and spiritually meaningful, facilitating a nuanced understanding of Christian beliefs.
