Residential Formation Program

On Friday, 23rd August His Grace Bishop Iakovos of Miletoupolis visited the College and addressed the students as part of their Formation Program. His Grace reflected on the calling to the priesthood and shared many aspects of his own personal journey firstly, as a layman and theology student, then as a deacon and priest, and finally as a bishop. He encouraged the students to discern their vocation in humility and service to the Church remaining confident that there is a place for everyone in the body of Christ.”

 

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
