In 2003, updating and re-organization of the Seminary program was established by official mandate under the patronage of our Lord Jesus Christ the Teacher. On April 30, 2019, Christ the Teacher Seminary of Milwaukie, Oregon; Ave Maria Theological Seminary of Fayetteville, Georgia; and Saint Anthony House School of Biblical Theology of Nashua, Montana entered into a Corporate Agreement of merging all three Seminaries and Theological Schools into one entity, now officially named Agnus Dei Theological Seminary. The program is designed to provide each student with the understanding of their role within the Minor and Major Holy Orders as upheld by The Evangelical Orthodox Catholic Church in America. In the process, those accepted as candidates/postulants for the Major Holy Orders will be well prepared to lead in the ministry to which they have been called to by God. Presently, the Seminary is open to any student that meets one of the following criteria: 1. Those students who are seeking, or are in, Holy Orders within The Evangelical Orthodox Catholic Church in America; 2. Those students who are seeking, or are in, Holy Orders within a Jurisdiction that has signed an Understanding of Full Communion or Intercommunion with The Evangelical Orthodox Catholic Church in America; 3. Those students who are seeking, or are in Holy Orders, but do not fit in either category 1 or 2 above, whose Bishop has made a formal request in writing to the Seminary on behalf of the student. The Seminary program is primarily one of correspondence. Each student starts their program of study when it is appropriate for them. They can move along within the program as fast or as slow as they need in order to learn the course material. The only time limit set within the program is that a seminarian must complete at least one course every three months. If the candidate finds it necessary to take longer than three months, the Seminary President, Dean of Academic Affairs, and/or the Faculty has the authority to approve extensions depending on the reason and the need of the candidate and their individual circumstances. Within the Seminary program, one is prepared both intellectually through academic studies in various areas, and spiritually through the verbal instructions for the various levels of Holy Orders. It is very important that one develops a spiritual level that is commensurate with their academic level within the Seminary program. The Evangelical Orthodox Catholic Church in America and Agnus Dei Theological Seminary does not discriminate in regard to Holy Orders on the basis of gender or marital status. Presently, Holy Orders are open to both male and female. Only the Episcopate at present is held for males only. This is in standing with ancient tradition of the church as founded by Christ and awaiting action by a united synod rather than by this individual jurisdiction of the Church Catholic. Agnus Dei Theological Seminary functions as both a correspondence (distance learning) and a resident program, depending upon the student’s or seminarian’s place of residence. Therefore, the application process, acceptance process, and the educational process is the same as it would be if one was to attend a larger college or university. This means that we are very serious about our education and formation of 6 seminarians who wish to serve in God’s vineyard as priests. In this process, the application is long and extensive, thus giving the Seminary Faculty and Administration an understanding of who our prospective candidates are. Further, the application requires one to write several essays to help discern the candidate’s call to serve the Lord. Also, a letter of recommendation from someone who has known the individual candidate for at least 5 years or more is needed and who is willing to attest to their (your) character. This can be either a close friend or a former Pastor. Along with this process, all prospective candidates will be asked to submit to a criminal and financial background check. Those with criminal pasts may be denied entry into the Seminary Program based upon the severity of their offense(s). Financial matters may be discussed with the Metropolitan Archbishop Primate, Metropolitan Archbishop, or Bishop and the Seminary President at the time of one's meeting. Along with the aforementioned, the application process, criminal and financial background checks, each student (seminarian) will be required to have an interview with the Archbishop or Bishop of the jurisdiction and/or religious community that they are applying for. All previous religious college courses are evaluated as to their acceptance toward one of our required courses. Please know that just because you are accepted into the Seminary Program, does not mean you will be automatically ordained to any of the Minor or Major Holy Orders. Only the Archbishop or Bishop can make that final determination based upon the recommendation of the Seminary Faculty and Staff, as well as the other Priests of the jurisdiction. It is expected that the candidate will develop a close spiritual relationship with the Faculty and Staff and with their (one's) Archbishop and Bishop. This is the only way that we will know of one's actual spiritual development. Both the Faculty and Staff, and the Archbishop and Bishop are here to help one (you) to grow and be prepared to become a priest both spiritually and intellectually. 7 AGNUS DEI THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OVERVIEW What is the difference between a Theological Seminary and a Divinity School? A Theological Seminary educates students for leadership roles in Christian ministry, such as pastors, missionaries, church planters, counselors, and other avenues of service to the Church. Its curriculum places strong emphasis on study and understanding of the Bible and theology, spiritual formation, and practical tools for church ministry. A Divinity School is usually affiliated with a university. Like a law or medical school, a divinity school is essentially a theological division within a larger university. Its students can take courses unrelated to theological education. Some are more focused on the academic study of religion and Christianity, preparing students to serve in academic, religious and non-sectarian settings, while others are more pastorally- focused. At Agnus Dei Theological Seminary, we take pride in offering: Church-Based Theological Seminary Education: A relatively recent trend is the development of seminaries by churches. Still rare in the U.S., these schools may offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees that prepare students to understand and apply the Biblical understanding and theology in vocational ministry. Typically, they are not accredited.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

  • Proposal for Selection of New Higher Doctorate Academic Dress Scott Pilkington
    Proposal for selection of new higher doctorate academic dress Scott Pilkington October 2019 Executive Summary AUT has recently had approved by CUAP the addition of two higher doctorates (DLitt and DSc) in addition to the suite of current named and other doctorates (PhD, DHSc, and EdD). There is the potential that additional higher doctorates may be created in future (e.g. LLD, DEng). As such, an opportunity is presented to develop new academic dress for these qualifications that sets them apart from the other doctorates being awarded by the university. Following here is an analysis of the historical context and review of other universities, and then the proposal for new doctoral academic dress (regalia) at AUT. Four designs have been proposed, with design D (p37) being recommended by the Graduate Research School for adoption. Costings have been obtained and are provided in appendix 4 (p28). The design recommended blends the styles used for the current doctorates and for the official party to facilitate a design that is sufficiently elevated to recognise the life work of a graduate, without competing with the finery worn by the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. Degree DLitt DSc Robe Black Cambridge Specialist Doctoral Gown Black Cambridge Specialist Doctoral Gown with sleeves lined in “post office red”; full- with sleeves lined in “post office red”; full- length 100mm damask front facings in length 100mm damask front facings in “post “post office red”; hemmed with 50mm office red”; hemmed with 50mm gold satin; gold satin; and with a button

  • NEWSLETTER – September 2020
    NEWSLETTER Queen’s College Faculty of Theology September 2020 This Newsletter is distributed electronically, it has links to more information on our website www.queenscollegenl.ca Greetings from the Provost We are well into the semester and, thanks to our Leadership Team, faculty members, students, and our Administrative Assistant – Ms Dana Bishop, things are going fairly smooth. We certainly miss some of our regular on-campus activities … especially chapel, common room and outreach ministries. But, we have all grown in discovering our capacities to adapt and engage using technologies. This Newsletter has good information on our Fall 2020 Semester initiatives. Please have a look through the Newsletter and connect with us about anything on which you would like to follow up. I am pleased to inform you that we are making arrangements for Queen’s College Convocation 2020. We are planning for a Convocation at Jack Byrne Arena on Torbay Road, Torbay on November 25 at 7:00 p.m. It is a suitable venue and has been used for other graduations in the past. It can accommodate our numbers within the Public Health COVID-19 regulations. We are working with the management of Jack Byrne Arena to develop the plan and clear directions to ensure safety and contact tracing. We will have more information in our October Newsletter. As we continue in this unusual year, I ask for prayers that we courageously discern and respond to God’s will, and I ask for patience and flexibility as we endeavour to discern how to prepare people for ministry in the world and church in this time of rapid and radical change.

  • Eligibility for Honorary Degrees Persons Who Have Achieved High
    Principles for Awarding Honorary Doctoral Degrees o The awarding of an honorary doctoral degree is a highly public action that brings visibility and distinction to both the recipient and to the University as grantor. It is also among the highest honors the University can confer. This distinction should, therefore, be given only for extraordinary accomplishments and in strict conformity with criteria approved by the Board of Trustees. o Honorary degree recipients share one commonality: Extraordinary distinction. However, the ways in which they demonstrate this distinction, the areas in which they have achieved it, and their geographic locations are likely to be diverse. o That a nominee may be controversial is not, in itself, reason to deny a degree honoris causa to an otherwise worthy recipient; however, no degree should be awarded to any individual when doing so could be reasonably expected to bring dishonor or embarrassment to the University. o Honorary degrees conferred by the University of Toledo do not give honorees who do not possess earned doctoral degrees the right to use the title of "Dr." All recipients of honorary degrees may, however, list their honorary degrees in their biographies, resumes, or curricula vitae. o The University will award honorary doctorates only. o The University confers honorary degrees at its main winter and spring Commencement exercises. The University also may confer honorary degrees at separate Commencement exercises of the College of Medicine & Life Sciences, College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and College of Law. Only the degrees of Honorary Doctor of Science and Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters are awarded to College of Medicine & Life Science and College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Science honorees.
