New Online Courses through St. Joseph of Arimathea, September-December 2011
Our Province's seminary, St Joseph of Arimathea, will offer online lecture courses on weekday evenings for interested clergy and laity this fall. As the seminary's provost, the Most Reverend Robert Sherwood Morse, has often said, "our biggest enemy is ignorance." Any of these four courses promises to increase the depth of your knowledge in an important aspect of our faith and practice:
- Dogmatic Theology: Christian Anthropology
- Church History, from the Apostles to 1300
- The Theology of the New Testament: The Synoptic Gospels
- Anglican Thought and Spirituality
For a modest fee of $50 per course, you can participate in this exciting new program offered by APCK clergy who are knowledgeable and seasoned instructors. Each course meets once a week for two hours, and may be either audited or taken for academic credit toward a degree at St Joseph of Arimathea.
