New APCK Courses Offered for Laity and Clergy

Saint Joseph of Arimathea Theological College, Berkeley, CA

As time goes by the Seminary wants very much to offer classes in which the laity will be able to participate more fully. Indeed, the primary goal remains to prepare men for Holy Orders, but a well-educated laity (including our youth and confirmands) is equally important for a successful Province of Christ the King. We have been asked about a Mission Statement; and here it is, that we educate and re-educate and re-educate our clergy and laity in the fundamentals of the Faith once delivered to the saints.  Michaelmas Term begins the week of September 17th. See course descriptions and registration form for additional details.
