experiences of personal, social and spiritual life.

| On-line instruction allows students to participate in regular Greco courses from the convenience of their own homes and according to their own schedules. "Lectures" are handled through a combination of print, video, and audio formats. In place of participating in class discussions, students are expected to join the on-line discussions three times a week. While not replacing the traditional classroom, this format makes theological study available to those who would otherwise not be able to participate, due to constraints of time and geography. |
