Prospective students discover St Vladimir’s Seminary

More than 25 students from across the United State and Canada visited St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York in November to learn more about becoming a student at America’s premier Orthodox theological graduate institution.

“Exploring the Possibilities,” November 14-16, gave prospective St Vladimir’s students first-hand experience of seminary life, as well as fostering their interest in ministry and understanding of the Orthodox faith.

“The open house was extremely enlightening, helping to answer many questions I never even thought of before I attended the program,” said Joshua Mosher, 28, from West Haven, Connecticut. “I was very impressed not only with the excitement of the current students, but the other inquiring students. I've been exploring attending St Vladimir’s for some time, and ‘Exploring the Possibilities’ helped confirm the challenges that await me as a seminarian.”

Participants in the two-day program were given an opportunity to attend classes, worship in the chapel, tour the campus and its resources, meet faculty and students, and learn about degree programs, financial aid, and the admission process.

“I was very impressed with all of our visiting prospective students,” said Fr John Behr, who was part of a faculty-student panel discussion. “They all had very diverse interests and enthusiasm, and they asked many important questions about seminary life, as well as Orthodox faith and theology.”
