An Episcopal Campus Ministry
Ancient Faith for the Modern Campus
A campus ministry at Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa. We study the Church Fathers, pray the Office, and follow the way of Christ together.
Who We Are
Two Campuses. One Table.
Cranmer House is an Episcopal campus ministry for students seeking depth, beauty, and truth. We gather around the Book of Common Prayer, study the Church Fathers, and live the rhythm of the liturgical year together.
We serve students at Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa, two very different campuses and one shared community. Whether you grew up in church and want to go deeper, or you're asking questions you're not sure anyone wants to hear, there's a place for you here.

Every Participant

“Lex orandi, lex credendi”
The rule of prayer is the rule of faith.
Our Priest & Campus Missioner
Fr. Thom Crowe
Fr. Thom is an Episcopal priest, an ORU graduate, and the founder of Cranmer House. He came to the Anglican tradition the long way, through years as an Orthodox deacon, and he's still a little amazed that God put him back on the ORU campus as a priest. He serves as Assisting Priest at St. John's Episcopal Church and spends a lot of time thinking about the Church Fathers, the beauty of the liturgy, and whether coffee counts as a spiritual discipline. He's always up for a conversation, about theology, doubt, or anything else.
