On May 22, 2006, the Orthodox Church in America Board of Theological Education met at the Chancery in Syosset, NY, under the chairmanship of His Eminence, Archbishop Kyrill of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania and the Bulgarian Diocese.
Participating in the meeting were His Grace, Bishop Seraphim of Ottawa and Canada; His Grace, Bishop Tikhon of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania; the Very Rev. Gregory Safchuk; and the Very Rev. David Brum.
Under the direction of His Beatitude, Metropolitan Herman, the Board of Theological Education establishes, maintains, and oversees the general standards and curriculum for the education and formation of clergy in The Orthodox Church in America’s three seminaries. The Board also oversees the general standards and curriculum for the Church’s Late Vocations Programs, evaluates those who complete such programs, and offers recommendations on the ordination of individuals completing such programs.
