The Reverend Canon Jason Constantine is a native of Michigan but also considers Winston Salem, North Carolina, home. He conducted his undergraduate education at Central Michigan University, majoring in history and minoring in music and museum studies. Fr.

In 2019, Fr. Constantine became a Distance Tutorial facilitator. Since then, he has facilitated multiple classes as well as supported Residential Tutorials. Fr. Constantine has a passionate interest in the pre-Reformation Church in England and is keen to point out that before there was a Church of England there was the Church in England. Of particular interest is the Church during the Anglo-Saxon period in which foundational aspects of the Anglican Tradition formed. Although still very much a novice in regard to reading Old English (formally known as Anglo-Saxon), Fr. Constantine enjoys reading primary texts in Middle English and is fascinated by the Book of Common Prayer and King James’ Bible’s contributions to the transition from Pre-Modern English to Modern English as well as the infusion of theology into civil society through these same contributions.
