– 
SVS Dean and Patristics Professor Archpriest John Behr will offer a weeklong academic course, “From Gospel to Creed,” June 13–19, 2010 on the seminary campus, for the public.
“From Gospel to Creed”
Have you been longing to take a course at St Vladimir’s Seminary, but not been in a position to be a full-time, on-campus seminarian? Are you an SVS alumnus/a yearning to return to your alma mater to see and hear what current professors are teaching? Do you simply want the chance to take a refreshing drink from the deep wellsprings of Orthodox Christian theology?
June 2010 will be the opportune time for you to do so! In a new summertime venture, the seminary will be offering an intensive weeklong academic course for the public, with an option for academic credit.
Archpriest John Behr, our renowned professor of Patristics and dean of St Vladimir’s Seminary, will lead a rigorous and rewarding academic class titled “From Gospel to Creed.” The course will examine key Christian figures and explore the historical and thematic paths that led to the formulation and promulgation of the Creed of Nicaea.
“I’m thrilled to offer a course to the general public this summer,” said Fr John. “And, I’m always eager to share what so energizes me—learning about Christ and the origins of my church, and all the providential quirks of history that make that study so fascinating, enduring, and decidedly life-changing.”

Dear Alumni,
With the blessing of Fr John Behr, the seminary’s dean, Fr Chad Hatfield, the seminary’s chancellor, and the seminary’s Alumni Board, I am delighted to invite you to the 6th SVS Alumni Reunion, slated for May 19-21, 2010 on the seminary campus.
Participants at previous reunions were delighted to visit the seminary campus again. They were in full agreement that it is vitally necessary for the seminary and its alumni to meet, to inform each other of their activities, and to cooperate for their mutual benefit. With newly approved by-laws and our recently elected Alumni Board, we hope to re-energize our alumni community.
During each of the last four reunions, it has been our tradition to honor the 50th and 25th anniversary classes. This year, the classes of 1960 and 1985, as well as the classes of 1959 and 1984 will be recognized. Activities will include an on-campus service project and a brunch cruise around Manhattan, as well as opportunities to participate in Commencement Week activities with the class of 2010.
