We at NYTS hold our history in the highest regard because since the early 1900’s NYTS has prepared students to become change agents that have impact and influence over diverse institutions and governing bodies in our city, our country and our world in order to secure a more just society. We prepare our students by acknowledging and affirming their call to serve and providing the academic theological training necessary for strengthening and actualizing that call. We also recognize that students may be called to serve in a variety of settings thus our degree programs are designed to prepare you for leadership in congregations and faith communities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, faith-based organizations, non-profit agencies and correctional facilities. In particular, you have chosen a theological institution with a rich history and long-time emphasis in specific training for the practice of urban ministry. Whether you are enrolled in our traditional pastoral training degree – the Master of Divinity – or our professional Masters of Arts degrees in Pastoral Care and Counseling, Religious Education, Religious Leadership and Administration, or Youth Ministry – all these programs seek to provide the skills and training needed for high quality service to God’s people in a variety of settings. This Student Handbook that you hold in your hands or are reading online seeks to help with the many challenges that all students face in pursuing their degree. Here you will find evidence of the strong support you are assured at NYTS, from faculty, administration, staff and your colleagues in study. The Student Handbook contains valuable information that will help you succeed in your journey, including the Seminary’s educational policy on many issues. Basic questions such as our annual Academic Calendar, this year’s cost of tuition and fees, and the various policies for grades, transcripts, registration, drop-add, course extension requests, etc. Please pay close attention to these rules, regulations, deadlines and expectations, for which you are responsible. Besides your Scriptures and your course textbooks, this Handbook is an important reading partner in your educational journey. Familiarize yourself with its content because it provides a blueprint for the successful completion of your program. As your Academic Dean, I, along with the faculty, administration and staff look forward to working with you toward a rewarding educational experience. It will not be easy, but we are all here to help you succeed. We pray that your coursework, learning experiences and training this academic year reflect the sense of vocational call that brought you to the doors of NYTS. Praying the very best for you I am Sincerely yours, Efrain Agosto, Ph.D. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Academic Dean Professor of New Testament Studies ACCREDITATION: New York Theological Seminary is accredited by the Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) and chartered by the Regents of The University of the State of New York. The following degree programs are approved by the Commission on Accrediting and registered with the New York State Education Department: Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling (MAPCC) Master of Divinity (MDiv) Master of Arts in Religious Education (MARE) Doctor of Ministry (DMin) Master of Arts in Religious Leadership and Administration (MARLA) Master of Arts in Youth Ministry (MAYM) The Seminary offers the following accredited degree at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York: Master of Professional Studies (MPS): This degree program is only available to individuals who are currently incarcerated within the New York State correctional system. The Seminary discontinued offering the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in other areas of ministry studies in 2011. Any student who has a complaint or grievance related to the Standards of Accreditation should contact the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Academic Dean in writing. The Commission contact information is: The Commission on Accrediting of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, 10 Summit Park Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275, USA. Telephone: 412-788-6505. Fax: 412-788-6510. Website: www.ats.edu 3 | P a g e GENERAL ACADEMIC POLICIES ACADEMIC CALENDAR: NYTS offers courses on an academic calendar that begins July 1 and ends June 30 of each year. The Seminary’s master’s degree programs operate on a two-semester (fall and spring) basis with each semester being fifteen weeks in duration. The Fall semester starts the week of Labor Day in September, while the Spring semester starts the last week of January. Courses at the Master’s level are also offered in month-long intensive formats in January (called “the Winter” period); as well as in June, July and August (“the Summer” period). The DMin program is offered on a year-long basis only, with course work offered in a semester-based format (Fall and Spring semesters). Certificate Program courses are generally offered in the Fall and Spring on a twelve-week semester basis, but additional CP courses may be offered in the summer months as well. The Academic Calendar can be found on the NYTS website, Moodle and from the Registrar’s Office. ACADEMIC CREDIT HOURS: A “credit hour" is the unit by which an institution measures its course work. The number of credit hours for which a course is listed is defined by a combination of the number of hours per week spent in class either face-to-face or online, and the number of hours spent in “out of class” supplementary work (such as completing reading assignments, conducting library research, engaging in field interviews, or writing papers). A credit at NYTS typically represents fifteen hours (each hour entailing 50 minutes of instruction time) of face-to-face or online contact. For each credit hour face-to-face, students should expect to spend an additional thirty hours of supplementary assignments. While the amount and difficulty of readings will vary from course to course, students should generally expect to be assigned up to 500 pages of reading per credit. Independent studies are expected to follow these guidelines when computing the number of credits to be awarded for work. ADMISSIONS: New York Theological Seminary (NYTS) is a professional graduate school whose primary mission is to prepare men and women for ministries in Christian churches and other religious institutions. Students are admitted without discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, or orientation, and represent a broad range of denominations, theological views, and cultural traditions. All candidates for degrees or certificates are expected • to be able to articulate an understanding of their own particular call to ministry, recognizing that this is interpreted differently across the range of traditions represented within the Seminary • to belong to a particular community of faith which has in some manner recognized or affirmed that calling Further requirements for each degree and certificate are listed elsewhere in this catalogue in the relevant program description sections.

  • Corpus Christi Church, New York
    VOLUME 94 | APRIL 2020 | MASHECK JOSEPH MASHECK Corpus Christi Church, New York Its Architecture and Art he treasured church of Corpus Christi on Morningside Heights in T Manhattan (“Corpus”), is known for liturgy and music—including com- missioned Mass music and congregational singing in Gregorian chant and English—rather than as a work of architecture or a site for art. Yet in the mid- and later-twentieth century the parish that worshipped in this, its second church built on West 121st Street in Manhattan, was no stranger to contem- porary culture. In 1938, two years after the church opened, Thomas Merton was conditionally baptized here.1 Three years later, the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred during Advent; the next day, December 8, 1941, the US declared war on Japan; a few days later, children of the parish school, directed by one of their Dominican teaching sisters, found themselves painting a nativity mural with Japanese figures in a Japanese landscape.2 During the war, the French Jewish philoso- pher Simone Weil, who lived on Riverside Drive in 1942, often visited Corpus Christi for Mass, sitting, legend has it, in the back row. Corpus was in the forefront of the liturgical movement: I remember being taken here as a boy in the 1950s to participate in a “Dialogue Mass”—then considered extraordinary. (In the ’60s, Worship was sold in the vestibule.) When Nadia Boulanger, a Catholic and the great composition teacher of many modernist composers, 1 At a font from the first church, where the Servant of God Terence Cardinal Cooke had been baptized in 1921.

Faculty can use the card in stores or on-line where VISA is accepted for FRAP-eligible purchases up to the amount of their individual FRAP allocations. As purchases are made, the amount available to spend on the card will automatically decrease until the FRAP allocation is fully spent.
