Bishop's School, Fall 2009
July 30, 2009
[Updated August 25]
Courses: (1) Book of Common Prayer, taught by Bishop Paul in the morning. (2) Theology, taught by The Rev. John Francis in the afternoon. Dates: September 26; October 17, 24, 31; November 7, 14, 28; December 5, 12, 19.
Classes will be held at St. Peter's, Hazleton from 10 am to 3:30 pm.
Because the focus of Bishop's School is to prepare vocational deacons and locally licensed priest, the curriculum is designed to meet the canonical requirements for those ministries. The classes rotate on
a four year cycle so that someone may enter at the beginning of any semester and continue through the four year program.
People in the ordination process may only miss one session and still receive credit for the course.
Although the focus is on preparation for ordination, anyone is welcome to register and attend all or any of the course. $75 fee per course is payable with registration.
