January 12-23, 2009
This pilgrimage is designed to build deeper bridges of cultural and spiritual understanding between American Christianity and the Orthodox faith in Holy Russia, introducing participants to the theology, spirituality, and philosophy of the Orthodox Church in Russia.

Theological Seminary’s Religion and the Arts Program:
-
supports the educational mission of the seminary by providing
students, staff, and faculty opportunities to engage the
arts in learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
The engagement of the arts takes place through the exhibition
program, artists-in-residence, and coursework, and in lectures,
worship, and the spiritual formation of our students.
- supports
and contributes to the work of churches, faith communities,
and artists by providing opportunities to explore the intersections
of the arts and religion.
- provides
a vehicle for experiencing and expressing the sacred through
educational and experiential opportunities that engage the
arts in relationship to the church’s ministry and
personal spiritual growth.
