ST. JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA SEMINARY SPRING 2024
Six classes will be offered beginning on January 9, 2024. These classes are offered on the Zoom platform and are open for clergy and laity; audit or credit. Bishop Hansen is taking a semester off, a well deserved semester off! There will be a Summer Session both in-person at the Seminary and on Zoom.
General Liturgics: Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m. and (if there is demand) 5:00 p.m.
This class (A study of the organization and celebration of Christian worship and the Sacraments with special emphasis on the Anglican tradition) will cover the history of the western liturgy along with practical information for celebrating the Eucharist (1928 Service, Missal Mass, Missa Cantata), the daily offices and the pastoral administration of the sacraments. A good reference text (not required) is Ritual Notes, Ninth Edition or earlier, by Henry Cairncross (based on E C R Lamburn) (begins January 9)
A Seminar in Homiletics: Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m.
In this seminar, students will be sent outlines of the instructor’s previous sermons. The students will then write their own sermons and during class share them by sharing their sermons with their classmates. The class is designed to help clergy (especially younger clergy) develop confidence in sermon composition and delivery. (begins January 10)
Ecclesiastical Latin 1: Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m.
Basic introduction to Latin and Ecclesiastical Latin. Cases and declensions; tenses and moods. The course features reading real Latin almost immediately. Text: A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin by John F. Collins. Do not be afraid to try. It’s not nearly as hard as one might expect. (begins January 10)
Ecclesiastical Latin VI: Fridays at 10:00 a.m.
Our third year veterans will take their final semester of Ecclesiastical Latin, unless they want to push on and read longer and continuous passages from the traditional Latin Mass; and the Old and New Testaments in the fall.

Biblical Greek IV: Fridays at 1:00 p.m.
