Study Materials available from Pillars Course

Our latest course was Pillars of the Church: Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Ephrem the Syrian. This was a study of the most important figures in the Latin and Syriac traditions, as well as one of the most prominent from the Greek tradition.

If this topic interests you, we are making the course materials available online for independent study. The materials include a schedule of readings, eight video lectures on the reading, and eight written reflections. We are charging $20 for an individual and $100 for a group of up to 20 people.

Early Church at Prayer and Worship - Registration Open

We are now accepting registrants for our spring seminar: The Early Church at Prayer and Worship. In this seminar, as you would expect, we will examine the early church's prayer and worship. We will examine a variety of sources from roughly the first five hundred years of the church, including Eastern monks, a Western bishop, an early liturgy, and the New Testament. Out of all of the seminars so far, this is the one I am most excited about. I am looking forward to how it will transform my own prayer and worship, especially as we begin the season of Lent during the course.

The seminar will run from February 1st through March 22nd, 2010. It will be hosted at Hampton Presbyterian Church in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania (north of Pittsburgh) and offered online.
