Named after the prolific 16th century Anglican churchman and theologian William Whitaker, the Whitaker Fellowship enlists students in the work of republishing classical Anglican texts for the modern age. In addition, through weekly lectures from Anglican clergy and faculty, fellows will explore the beauty of the Anglican tradition and better understand its rich historical, theological, and liturgical inheritance.
We are proud to announce our 2026 Whitaker Fellows:
Eden Westrate is a rising senior at Patrick Henry College studying Classical Liberal Arts with a minor in Classics. She has competed in collegiate mock trial for three years and published poetry in the school's literature journal. When not at school, Eden can usually be found hiking in the woods or exploring new places. She loves good books, long walks, fencing, the ocean, and cheese. Above all, she loves her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
