Diocesan School of Theology starts new term August 21
The Diocesan School of Theology is now registering students for the 2010-2011 academic year that begins Saturday, August 21, 2010.
The Diocesan School of Theology offers individuals in this and neighboring dioceses, an opportunity for in depth study in Scripture, Church History, Theology, and Liturgy. Classes meet the third Saturday of the month, August through May, at the Bishop’s Centre for Ministry on Youree Drive in Shreveport. Classes are open to all who seek a greater knowledge of our shared faith. The program offers a solid foundation for teachers in Christian formation programs, those engaged in Bible study groups, and those seeking a study program to assist them in their spiritual growth.
Individuals enrolled in Diocesan School courses can work towards completion of a nine-course Diploma of Christian Studies as part of the discernment process and/or lay leadership preparation. The Diploma program consists of the following courses: Old Testament I and II, New Testament I and II, Church History I and II, Book of Common Prayer, and two electives, one of which must be from the Theology offerings. The program can be completed in three years.
