Anselm House
Dr. Barrett is also the director of Anselm House, a nine month residency. In the scholastic spirit of faith seeking understanding, Anselm Fellows are devoted to a common rule of life together. They gather for evening prayer, a meal together where they build friendships and are formed by virtue, and read a classical text out loud to participate in Socratic dialogue, all with the aim of contemplating God. Their Socratic dialogue oscillates around their reading of the Great Tradition.
Anselm House is unique. As Anselm Fellows gather for life together around three key distinguishing marks: classical theology, Thomistic philosophy, and Anglican spirituality.
Anselm Fellows believe classical theology is a spiritual exercise, so they dedicate themselves to the Daily Office, serve at morning prayer, and receive the opportunity to participate in the liturgy at St. Aidan's Anglican Church in Kansas City. As a result, Anselm Fellows receive course credit towards a degree at Trinity Anglican Seminary. Anselm House is now taking applications.
Dr. Barrett is married to Elizabeth and they have four children. They love Kansas City, especially rooting for the Chiefs. As a native of Los Angeles and alumni of Biola University, he is also a diehard Lakers and Dodgers fan.
