For the second time in as many months, the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America released yet another new study, titled “The Study of Educational Institutions Offering Programs in Orthodox Theology in the United States,” on October 20, 2015.
Assembly of Bishops issues study on US Orthodox theological schools

The 79-page study is based on a survey of 12 Orthodox theological schools in the US.  The report examines the schools’ degrees and programs and provides detailed information related to each school’s accreditation, student body, and faculty.  Data-gathering was finalized in September 2014 and was accurate through that time.

The Orthodox Church in America’s seminaries—Saint Herman’s Seminary, Kodiak, AK; Saint Tikhon’s Seminary, South Canaan, PA; and Saint Vladimir’s Seminary, Yonkers, NY—represent three of the 12 participating schools.

Initiated by the Assembly’s Committee for Theological Education, the study was prepared by the Assembly’s research coordinator, Mr. Alexei Krindatch.

The full report may be accessed here.

Earlier studies and reports on various aspects of Orthodox Christianity in North America, conducted by Mr. Krindatch, may be found here.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
