In 1978, Jagger entered Cranmer Hall, Durham, an Anglican theological in the Open Evangelical tradition, to train for ordained ministry. During this time, he also studied theology at St John's College, Durham, and graduated with a BA degree from the University of Durham in 1980. He left Cranmer Hall in 1982 to be ordained in the Church of England.[3]
