Beginning Wednesday, January 26th, St. Nersess Seminary is embarking on their third series of internet live streaming lectures with a course entitled, Armenian Hymnography: History, Theology and Function. The lectures will be led by V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, Dean and Professor of Liturgical Studies at St. Nersess Seminary.
These lectures are part of an ongoing Global Classroom, which intends to make the theology of the Armenian Orthodox Church more accessible to anyone interested in learning more about the Armenian Orthodox expression of Christianity, and its significance and influence within Christendom.
The 16 weekly lectures will run Wednesday evenings from January 26th through May 18th, 2011, from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. The lectures are recorded and archived, so if you miss a class, you may access the site and watch them at a later date.

"Explore the exquisite sacred music of the Armenian Church: the sublime music, ardent poetry, intense faith and surprising history of the Sharagans. What are these exquisite musical-theological-prayerful gems? What is their message? Who composed them? How can they enhance our faith today? This course will explore one of Christendom’s most ancient and venerable traditions of sacred hymnody."
