Diocese of New York el daily. The needs of part-time and commuting students are represented in discussions of schedules and curriculum. In the changing world for which General prepares church leaders, the USA is becoming more culturally diverse and the global community more interconnected. El Programa Hispano/ Latino brings to General the cultural and linguistic heritage of the growing Spanish-speaking population for classes and liturgy that take place on nights and weekends. Committed to serving and learning from the international community of the Anglican Communion, General welcomes students and visiting lecturers from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Oceania. The cultural, linguistic, theological and liturgical distinctives they bring present opportunities for mutual learning and community care, especially amid the current tensions in the Anglican Communion. Equally important, General welcomes church members from beyond the Anglican heritage. Full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has made Lutheran studies and liturgy a particular focus of interest. General’s multiple degree and non-degree programs bring together those who are studying theology for the first time and those pursuing advanced or doctoral study. All share in common meals, study, and worship. Recognizing our shared commitment to Jesus Christ, we seek to be a place where all members of the community feel empowered and encouraged to bring all of who they are to the church’s service. I

8 “While here at General, life on the Close has become an extension of our life as a family. My children are friends with the other children. The friendship and support of other families have been invaluable.” —Stephanie Allen, M.Div., ’08, Diocese of New York

“As an international student, it is a great privilege to study in America. Studying in a language which is not my own made my first semester not an easy thing. However, the seminary community has provided me so much help that it was not as difficult as it might have been. I will never forget the experience of studying in America. It has made me more mature.” —Frederic Menelas, M.A., ’09, International Student from Haiti

“All voices are welcome in discussions. After expressing my own understanding in a class discussion, the professor gleefully and respectfully shouted out: ‘And that’s why you’re a Lutheran!’ He genuinely appreciated my point of view. It is so important in this increasingly pluralistic world to use this time to rehearse how to dialogue with those who bring a different angle to the conversation. At General there is a real commitment to listen to everyone.” —Mark Erson, M.Div., ’08, Metro NY Synod, Evangelical Luterhan Church in America

"I knew that General was the place for me the moment I walked through the gate, though I didn't know why. The M.Div program challenges me on every level imaginable. I wouldn't want to be any place else." —Kevin Brown, M.Div., ’10, Diocese of Pennsylvania

“The purpose of the Community Council Community Council is to serve as a representative body of students, faculty, staff and families which furthers the mission of the Seminary. We do this by being Christ-centered, giving voice to concerns of community members, and working towards solutions. We strengthen communication, identify the gifts of community members, raise up leaders, and learn to manage budgets for various committees.” —Jemonde Taylor, Community Council President, M.Div., ’09, Diocese of South Carolina

The Seminary professor who happened to be a bishop would preside over meetings of the faculty. Hobart did this himself until 1830, and his successor as Bishop of New York followed the pattern into the 1850s. There was no real Dean of the Seminary until the 1860s. In addition to the clergy, Hobart also appointed two laypersons to make the faculty more representative: Clement Clarke Moore, a linguist and Hebrew scholar who taught Biblical languages, and Gulian Verplanck, a gifted and eccen- tric New York legislator who was appointed Professor of Evidences of Revealed Religion and Moral Science.

Throughout its history and today, General has sought to be a seminary for the whole church, and that vision has been extended to include the worldwide Anglican Communion and the ecumenical community. Diverse theological, liturgical and spiritual emphases of successive periods have found a home here as the community aspires to reflect the richness of the whole People of God. I

The Islamic Center and the Jodo Shinshu Bud- dhist temple are national centers for these faith communities. Seminarians doing field education benefit from the superb diversity of the Episcopal Church and other denominations in metro New York. One congregation is an active theater during the week, and another is a historic Anglo-Catholic parish. One has the only resident boys choir in the Episcopal Church, while another feeds over a thousand people each day. In the multi-ethnic Diocese of New York, eucharist is celebrated in nearly a dozen languages each Sunday morning. Congregations range from small mission groups to corporate-size parishes and the world’s largest Gothic cathedral. The cultural opportunities of New York’s theater, dance, art and concert venues are world-renowned. From Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to tiny jazz clubs, the availability of great music is unmatched. A scholarship program enables General students to attend a cultural performance each term. The metropolitan area is home to over 30 major museums with specializations ranging from modern art to broadcasting. The largest collection of early and medieval Christian art in North America is housed at the Metropolitan Museum and The Cloisters. New York City is a bib- liophile’s wonderland of bookstores. All this and more are the reason General graduates consistently point to General’s New York location as one of its greatest assets. I

Recommended Course Plan for a Full-Time Three-Year Master of Divinity Listed below are the foundation courses and elective possibilities that fulfill the M.Div. This three-year full-time course plan allows students to take the foundation courses in sequential order and to acquire the requisite number of credits for graduation. This particular sequence is not required, but in considering alternatives, full-time students are urged to plan ahead to ensure that they will not encounter time conflicts in the scheduling of Foundation Courses.

N OTE : As the full course list indicates, foundation courses carry three credits, with these exceptions: CM1, two or three; PT1-4, two each. CPE carries six credits. TFE1 and TFE2 carry one credit each; TFE3 and TFE4 two each. † One Systematic Theology elective must be taken in addition to ST1. Philosophical Foundations for Theology (ST 01) is an encouraged elective- because it introduces students to key philosophical concepts and the language of theology. It serves as a foundation for both ST1 and the historical theology of CH1 -3. * Liturgics 1 (LT1), a required course, may be taken in the Michaelmas term of either the Middler or Senior year in this recommended plan.
