Popova, Olga D. "The Reader’s Interest of Seminarians during the Period of Social Rise in the Second Half of the 19th — Early 20th Century." Observatory of Culture 15, no. 5 (December 14, 2018): 608–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.25281/2072-3156-2018-15-5-608-620.
Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the reader’s interests of students of theological seminaries of the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. Libraries were a mandatory element of the functioning of theological seminaries. Memoirs of the seminarians provided the background for the present article. The author analyzes the state policy on formation of the ideological education of children of the clergy. The article describes the content of the libraries of theological seminaries and the mechanisms for their replenishment. The study is aimed to demonstrate that the library collections did not meet the interests of seminarians, and the reading circle of young people was being influenced by the social rise in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. Revolutionary populists were greatly affecting the reader’s interests. The students of seminaries were willing to read the works of leading authors of that time: H.T. Buckle, H. Spencer, N.K. Mikhaylovsky, N.G. Chernyshevsky, D.I. Pisarev. An analysis of archival documents demonstrates that the government attempted to monitor what students read in theological seminaries. Books of the leading authors were banned and withdrawn. The seminarians sought to create their own reading circle. Therefore, many students made attempts to visit city libraries, to take books from friends and acquaintances, to create their own secret collections.The article reveals the history of secret libraries in Kostroma and Vladimir. The study helps to understand that the authors of the memoirs shared their reader’s interests in order to show the impact of reading books by progressive authors. Most of the memoirs’ authors claimed that the interest in the clandestine circles had been caused by a desire to diversify the monotonous daily life in seminaries. Seminarians read forbidden literature because of their interest in current problems of Russia and society.

Full textAbstract:
The formation of students of higher theological seminaries embraces different problems. It is no possible to skip the mass-media problem in the seminarformation. The present research undertakes the problem of the seminar-formation in relation to using media in the mission of the Church, which are propositions of law and church-teaching in this field. Detailed norms of the education of seminarists bear upon three levels: first embraces the formation of seminarists as receivers, the next stage possesses the pastoral dimension, and the third (specialistic) is directed to those who will committing their future working on the field of media or will be lecturers in this sphere. The study of the documents of the church, instructions and propositions of law, confirms the urgent need of formation of the seminarists of theological seminaries, in the area of instruments of social communication. In the preparation of seminarists, one cannot only bring the separate lecture on the subject massmedia. Necessary is the general philosophical reference, and the theological formation to the present problems of social communication. In the present evangelization one ought to use mass-media. One ought today to ask after this, as to using instruments of social communication, which forms of the communication and which technologies are most useful in the concrete realization of the mission of the Church. One future priest, the conscious and critical receiver, should be a partner in the dialogue in the subject of present forms of the communication.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of Baptist seminaries in Ukraine was influenced by Western churches or missions and in some cases by the Ukrainian diaspora, which had lived outside Ukraine for a long time. The decisive influence was exerted by representatives of churches, educational institutions and Christian universities in the United States. Seminaries went through a number of stages of their own development, during which the forms of collective leadership changed. The first stage is the emergence of seminaries and the harmonization of seminars to unified standards. In the first stage, immediately after the seminary was established, they had very friendly relations with local churches, the programs were very flexible and responded to the needs of the churches. Church leaders saw these initiatives as part of church ministry. The second stage is the extensive development of seminaries, by which the author means the involvement of additional resources in the work of seminaries and the growth of seminaries, associated with the number of students, and for some seminaries - the opening of branches or field programs. This type of growth was also due to the fact that seminaries began to become more independent of national churches, and partnerships with Western organizations became more formalized, which was most often seen in the participation of Western partners in the board of trustees. The third period is a reassessment of the work of seminaries. The beginning of this period is largely related to the global economic crisis of 2007-2008, and its result was the resumption of dialogue between seminaries and churches. The fourth period - institutional changes - is associated with the reaction of the Ukrainian state to the Bologna process and the adoption of the new Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education". The process of preparation for state accreditation and formation of a culture of openness in the national educational environment has begun.

Abstract: This research is based on the thought of a saint, St. Benedict, contained in a rule made in the context of monastery, the Rule of St. Benedict. This rule has shaped the spiritual life of God's people for dozens of centuries. The strong emphasis on the balance of ora et labora, prayer and work, made this pattern relevant till date. This rule is also used as an approach to the forming of the patterns of spiritual formation in seminaries. Theological education is closely related to the growth of God's people. Thus, seminary as one model of theological education needs to have a good pattern related to the spiritual formation of everyone in it. The condition of seminaries in the present era with a tendency to show more attention to academic formation than to spiritual formation can cause imbalance in the life of seminarians. The Rule of St. Benedict can be a reference model so that seminaries can carry out a balanced theological education process to ensure that the academic quality exists as a part of the wholistic spiritual life.
Keywords: ora et labora, seminary, spiritual formation, the Rule of St. Benedict.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini didasarkan oleh pemikiran seorang kudus, St. Benediktus yang tertuang dalam sebuah aturan yang dibuat dalam konteks biara, the Rule of St. Benedict. Aturan ini telah membentuk kehidupan spiritual umat Tuhan selama belasan abad. Penekanan yang kuat pada keseimbangan ora et labora, berdoa dan bekerja, membuat pola ini dapat digunakan hingga saat ini. Aturan ini juga digunakan sebagai pendekatan untuk membentuk pola formasi spiritual di seminari. Pendidikan teologi memiliki kaitan yang erat dengan pertumbuhan umat Tuhan. Dengan demikian, seminari sebagai salah satu model dari pendidikan teologi perlu memiliki sebuah pola yang baik terkait dengan formasi spiritual setiap orang di dalamnya. Kondisi seminari pada masa kini yang menunjukkan kecenderungan perhatian pada formasi akademik daripada formasi spiritual dapat mengakibatkan ketidakseimbangan dalam kehidupan para seminaris. The Rule of St. Benedict dapat menjadi sebuah model acuan agar seminari dapat menjalankan proses pendidikan teologi secara seimbang guna memastikan bahwa kualitas akademik hadir sebagai bagian dalam kehidupan spiritual secara holistik.
Kata-kata kunci: ora et labora, seminari, formasi spiritual, The Rule of St. Benedict.

Full textAbstract:
The article investigates the historical ties of Subcarpathian Rus with one of the theological institutions in the Balkans - the St. John the Theologian seminary in Bitola. The deficient educational level of the Orthodox clergy in the early 1920s is characterized. The network of Orthodox seminaries in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes during this period is shown. Based on the documents of Serbian and Ukrainian archives, the stages of attracting students from Subcarpathian Rus to study in the Kingdom's secondary and higher spiritual and theological institutions are clarified. The role of the bishops-delegates of the Serbian Orthodox Church, who served the most for the departure of entrants to study in Macedonia, is assessed. For the first time in historiography, the names of the Transcarpathians who graduated from the seminary and were ordained as priests were established. The article also mentions other seminarians who were expelled for failure or transferred to other educational institutions. The article describes the seminary's curriculum, extracurricular activities, incentives system, and students' leisure time. The annual reports of the seminary also provide an opportunity to trace the way of reforming the educational institution's curriculum, increasing and decreasing the number of hours in certain subjects. The author concludes that Bitola Theological Seminary trained about 30 priests for Subcarpathian Rus and was among the most popular and respected in the region. The Orthodox clergy who graduated from the studios in Macedonia were highly educated and able to unite the faithful in the parishes. On this basis, the diocesan hierarchs entrusted the "Bitolians" with large parishes or problematic parishes where it was necessary to normalize the situation. The conclusions outline the prospects for further research.

Full textAbstract:
In the contested spiritual economy of the early nineteenth century, recently disestablished American clergymen consolidated themselves in theological seminaries. Members of the dominant New England Congregationalist and Presbyterian ministries, these seminarians organized a defensive front against itinerant, populist rivals by intensifying their curricula, proscribing physical exertion as a distraction from study, and shielding clerical students from popular influence. Yet critical voices from within the seminaries soon reported that unrelenting study damaged students’ bodily health and alienated the clergy from a laity on whom their educational funding now depended. Accompanying such critiques were proposals for an alternative pedagogy that gained its fullest expression in the manual labor school, where physical vigor was enshrined as a complement to theological training and where barriers separating clergy from laity were minimized. By situating the infirmities that seminarians logged in memoirs and exposés alongside their efforts to reform the seminary system, this article argues that the graduate clergy mustered a coherent, forceful response to the crisis in spiritual leadership that disestablishment precipitated. The article presents clerical elites not as casualties of democratization or as agents of capital, but as self-aware and self-interested economic actors in the reordering of American religious authority after disestablishment.

Данная статья рассматривает новое направление в деятельности Барнаульской духовной семинарии — тьюторство, которое в духовной семинарии чаще именуется «индивидуальное наставничество». Хотя изначально тьютор — это преподаватель, который проводит дополнительные занятия с одним или несколькими учащимися, студентами, в духовной семинарии деятельность тьютора понимается чуть шире и включает в себя функции, которые раньше входили в сферу деятельности классного руководителя или куратора курса. Информация, предложенная в статье, может быть использована индивидуальными наставниками духовных семинарий Русской Православной Церкви. This article considers a new direction in the activities of Barnaul Theological Seminary — tutoring, which in seminaries is often referred to as individual mentoring. Although initially a tutor is an instructor or lecturer who conducts additional classes with one or more students, tutor’s activity in theological seminaries is somewhat wider and includes responsibilities that used to be the activity scope of a supervising teacher or a course curator. The information provided can be used by individual mentors in theological seminaries of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Full textAbstract:
Until 1798 Warsaw remained in the diocese of Poznań despite taking over from Cracow numerous functions of a capital city in the 17th and 18th centuries (nominally it never became the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). During this time two seminaries ran by the Missionaries of St. Vincent de Paul functioned in Warsaw: Seminarium Internum and Seminarium Externum. They were founded in 1675-1676 and educated – especially the latter one – a large group of clergy who later held prominent positions in the structures of the Catholic Church on Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian soil. Among the seminary’s graduates were 66 future bishops (only eight of them underwent formation in Seminarium Internum), who were to minister as ordinaries or suffragans in a majority of dioceses then existing within the borders of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (and also on the territory of historical Greater Poland). Both of the above mentioned theological institutes located in Warsaw continued to function for some decades after the collapse of the pre-partition Polish-Lithuanian state (by then already within the Warsaw diocese and from 1818 in the Warsaw archdiocese). Their existence came to an end in 1864 as a result of repressions by Russian administration after the collapse of the January Uprising. In this second period of the seminaries’ operation the number of alumni who later filled episcopal offices was markedly lower, the last one being the future Gniezno-Poznań metropolitan and cardinal, Mieczysław Ledóchowski, whose name stands out illustriously in the history of the Church in Greater Poland.

The suggestion is made that different accents in the formulation of the purpose is the mark of the leading approach in education: axiological, environmental, or activity ones. Although the idea doesn’t contradict the complex of approaches in the educational process.The conclusion is drawn that the differences in educational programs can be seen as the directions to improve and modernize educational work.

Full textAbstract:
Theological training is in a crisis worldwide. Although the role that Theological Seminaries have fulfilled is acknowledged, there is a growing concern about the ability of these institutions to serve the upcoming generations of Christian leaders. Some warn they may not be well tailored for our post-modern age. Many people feel that the Seminary as an institution is in danger of extinction due to irrelevancy. Seminaries, in general, are perceived as not connecting to the needs of today’ s church. The Auckland Park Theological Seminary (ATS), whose training is the subject of this research, is not excluded from this concern of the Church for relevant theological training. Many pastors of the AFM of SA are of the opinion that the training offered at the ATS does not effectively train pastors for the ministry. The purpose of this article is to investigate and describe how pastors who studied at the ATS experienced their theological training, as well as to offer guidelines to the Church and the ATS to develop a more effective model for theological training.

Full textAbstract:
Among the many issues related to priesthood, questions often arise about how the Church prepares pupils/students for priestly service, what this formation involves and who is responsible for it. The article attempts to answer these questions from a historical perspective. It begins by presenting the idea of seminary life and the beginnings of the institution of theological seminaries. Then it discusses the decision of the Council of Trent, which obliged the Church to establish theological seminaries in all dioceses. The next stage in the education of the clergy was introduced by the document of the Second Vatican Council, Optatam Totius, which defines the nature and mission of a priest. It obliged local churches to develop their own Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis. The Polish Ratio Fundamentalis drew its inspiration from this document. The analysis of the new Ratio for Polish seminaries developed in 2021 concludes the latest stage in the history of clergy formation.

The purpose of the article is a categorical analysis of the teaching staff of theological seminaries in Russia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This study is of great importance for understand-ing the history of Russia and the role of the Church in society. The study of the teaching staff of theological seminaries and the degree of their professional training makes it possible to analyze the possibilities of the influence of this category of church intellectuals on the social life of Russia at that time. The article analyzes the nature and essence of the interaction of the church intellectuals with representatives of state power, as well as the influence of the teaching staff of the theological educational institutions of tsarist Russia on public sentiment and the sphere of public education. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that this study can be useful for understanding modern religious culture in Russia and its connection with secular education. The interrela-tion of theological and secular education shown in the article reveals their mutual influence and joint impact on the formation of public sentiment in the country, the impact of spiritual traditional values on the culture and way of people life. The study of the teaching staff of theological seminaries in Russia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries makes it possible to understand the origins of modern problems and trends in the further develop-ment of interaction between the state and society in upholding spiritual ideals in the context of the challenges of the secular public-state space.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, Reformed Christianity, broadly based on the theology of Calvinism, has spread widely in China, especially by appealing to Chinese ‘intellectuals’ who constitute most of the house church leaders in urban areas. It draws its moral guidance from a so-called rational or intellectual focus on biblical theology, reinforced by theological training in special seminaries. It consequently rejects the ‘heresy’ of the older Pentecostal Christianity, with its emphasis on charisma, miracles, and theology based on emotional ‘feeling’. This Reformed theology and its further elaboration have been introduced into China in two main ways. The first is through overseas Chinese, especially via theological seminaries in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. For instance, preachings of the famous Reformed pastor Stephen Tong (唐崇荣) have been widely disseminated online and among Chinese Christians. Second, Korean missionaries have established theological seminaries mainly in cities in northern China. This has resulted in more and more Chinese church leaders becoming advocates of Calvinism and converting their churches to Reformed status. This paper asks why Calvinism attracts Chinese Christians, what Calvinism means for the so-called house churches of a Christian community in a northern Chinese city, and what kinds of change the importation of Reformed theology has brought to Chinese house churches. Various significant accounts have addressed this development in China generally. My analysis complements these accounts by focusing on a small number of interconnected house churches in one city, and uses this case study to highlight interpersonal and organizational issues arising from the Calvinist approach.

The article focuses on the pedagogical component in the content of Pastoral Theology in the Ukrainian educational institutions of the Orthodox Church, which were included in the system of religious education of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the nineteenth century – at the end of the 1860's. Basing on the studied works “On Positions of Parish Presbyters” by the bishop of the Smolensk Parfenii and the Archbishop of Mogilev, Georgii (Konyskyi), “Letters on Positions of Sacred Rank” by Olexandr Sturdza, “Pastoral Theology” by Archimandrite Anthonii (Amfiteatrov), as well as programs, lecture notes and lecture reviews of lecturers of theological seminaries and the Kiev Theological Academy it has been established that much attention at classes on Pastoral Theology was paid to the preparation of future priests for the religious and moral upbringing of parishioners. The main forms and methods of teaching Pastoral Theology have been presented on the basis of the analysis of archival materials, historical, pedagogical literature. Attention is drawn to the widespread dissemination in the seminaries of rote learning and text dictating, despite the prohibition of such methods by the 1814 Statute. The quality of teaching and staffing of this subject in the secondary and higher Ukrainian educational institutions of the Orthodox Church in the period under research. It has been proved that Pastoral Theology in seminaries was on an equal footing with other branches of theology: teachers understood its great importance for future presbyters and paid much attention to the subject as distinct from the Kiev Theological Academy.

Abstract In 2016, South Africa saw student and staff protests calling for the decolonisation of the teaching curriculum in institutions of Higher Education. Although these protests were centred in public universities, the issue of decolonisation also affects private institutions such as seminaries that need to transform curricula from being permeated with Western idealism to being authentically African. This article explores this issue for Methodist theological education. It argues that decolonisation affects not only the content of the teaching curriculum but also matters such as staffing and curriculum development. Its focus is to develop ways of implementing an Afrocentric curriculum in African Methodist seminaries.

Full textAbstract:
Academic sermons (preaching tests) which depend largely on pragmatic choices, are used to determine the preachers’ quality and qualification for theological certification. Previous studies on religious discourse have not recognised the influence of delivery constraints on the overall output of academic sermons. This study, therefore, examined the pragmatic implications of the preachers’ choices. The study adopted aspects of pragmatic act theory. Stratification and purposive sampling methods were used to select three seminaries from which data were gathered. The penultimate year student-pastors were purposively selected for data collection and data were subjected to pragmatic analysis. Four performance contexts and six delivery styles with eight strategies demonstrated training-induced delivery constraints, which conditioned preachers’ pragmatic designs and determined their level of compliance to training in the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminaries. The perfect orientation to narrative and prescriptive styles suggested compliance to training, but the partial orientation and complete disorientation to analytical, invocational, affiliative and professing styles implied pragmatic misadjustment and professional deficiencies with implications for pastoral competence.

Full textAbstract:
The peculiarity of the formation and development of education in Russia is that its origin and further transformation took place in religious schools. On the example of the Tambov Seminary we show the transformation in the educational process of the 19th century. Great importance was given to such a document as a charter. In the second half of the 19th century preparations began for the transformation of seminaries in Russia. “Draft Charter of 1862” was published which received widespread discussion. In the Tambov Seminary, the discussion of this project took place in 1863 and occupied a special page in the seminary chronicle. The new charter was recognized as little successful than the previous experience of studying medicine and agriculture in seminaries. The charter defined improvement in the field of theology. The innovation was the creation of a hostel for schoolchildren, the introduction of the seminary pastor post, regular gymnastic exercises and walks in the fresh air. Literary gatherings under the guidance of a mentor were allowed. The training part also underwent changes. It was determined that the preparation of general education was 8 years and on its basis another 4 years were for studying the theological sciences. Such an educational system excluded repetition in the study of the same subjects. All these questions were the subject of open discussion in the Tambov Seminary.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores a field quite new for Russian religious studies: research into the infosphere of religious institutions. In our case, the term “infosphere” defines a totality of institutions and informational resources of various origin, as well as channels of research communications, including verbal communication, those providing the development of this infosphere. At that, we rely on works by one of the creators of contemporary philosophy of information Luciano Floridi, who built that neologism according to the pattern of the term “biosphere” and put it in the research circulation in the mid 1990s, in the context of studying the new informational reality. In this work, we consider a small segment of the research of infosphere: studying the infosphere of the Orthodox theological schools of the Russian Empire of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We analyze the main methodological approaches to studying the noosphere of seminaries and theological academies, the historiography, and the sources of that topic. The scale of the tasks requires the involvement of a wide range of sources. There are various written materials, both printed matters and manuscripts. There are catalogues of libraries collected in seminaries and theological academies, lists of personal libraries of teachers of theological educational institutions. Another valuable source of data on the infosphere of theological schools is a variety of notes and plans of lectures, journals of meetings of councils and conferences organized in theological academies, correspondence, and memoirs. Analysis of the content of periodicals makes it possible to reconstruct the informational field of teachers and students of theological educational institutions of the Russian Empire. It allows us to make a complex research of the circle of reading of representatives of the clergy, which played a significant role in the Russian culture of the pre-Soviet period.

Abstract This letter urges younger scholars in the Azusa Street tradition to take seriously their calling to the church, providing a critical description of Pentecostal theological education and offering a vision of a promising future. In agreement with Cheryl Bridges Johns, the letter argues that Pentecostal seminaries, colleges, and universities not only should exist, they can deliver a recognizably Pentecostal theological education, training ministers to do their sacred work in ways faithful to the distinctive spirituality of the Azusa Street tradition.

To increase the alignment between the lives of ministers serving congregations and what seminary professors think that congregational ministry is like, this study used qualitative methods to examine the themes voiced by seminary professors and graduates in ministry at five Protestant seminaries in the United States. There was some agreement about key themes in the lifeworld of ministers. However, there was little agreement between professors and graduates in ministry about which themes were most influential. Findings point to opportunities for seminaries to create ways to take seriously the experiences of ministers.

The purpose of the study is to analyze and periodize the historical process of formation and development of the UGCC theological education system in independent Ukraine (1991-2010), to clarify its structure, achievements and prospects for integrating theological education into the educational space of the Ukrainian state. Research methodology is based on the scientific principles of objectivity and historicism, special scientific methods of critical analysis of sources, problem-chronological and system-structural. Scientific novelty periodization and development of the system of theological education of the UGCC in independent Ukraine (1991–2010) are carried out. Conclusions: the revival and development of theological education of the UGCC during the independence of Ukraine had several features: first, the "spontaneous" resumption of theological seminaries at first gradually acquired clear organizational features, and their formation provided constant training for the next generation of clergy; secondly, for the first time in the history of theological education of the UGCC, a more or less clear concept of its development was created, which allowed not only to delineate theological education at certain organizational levels, but also to ensure the organizational development of theological schools. We can say that on the 20th anniversary of the UGCC coming out of the underground, it created a clearly structured system of theological education, in which three groups can be divided: the first is a network of scientific and educational institutions (UCU in Lviv with a branch in Rome and the Institute of Oriental Christian Studies). in Ottawa), the main task of which is the formation of theological science, its integration into the scientific and educational space of Ukraine; the second is a network of seminaries designed to provide the Church with a new generation of priests; the third is a network of "general Christian education" institutions, including catechetical institutes and deacon-regent schools (with some caveats, as they provide a certain level of theological knowledge and "professional" qualifications), as well as Sunday parish and general Greek Catholic schools. Thus, such a structured system of theological education of the UGCC not only allows for "professional" training of "personnel" for the UGCC, but also contributes to the "new evangelization" of modern society.

Theological education prepares women and men for ministry in both church and society. As the demographic landscape shifts, seminaries must adapt instructional approaches, patterns of community life, and methods of formation to provide inclusive opportunity for all. The hospitality of the Triune God who creates space for otherness grounds this approach to ministry preparation.

The purpose of the article is to clarify the biography of one of the famous revolutionary populists Dmit-ry Timofeevich Butsinsky. The place of his studies after graduating from the Kursk Theological College is studied. The history of the Kursk and Belgorod theological seminaries are studied and compared. The lack of biographical data does not allow to say which of them D.T. Butsinsky studied at after graduating from the Kursk Theological College and before entering Kharkov University. As a result, the author draws a conclusion that there were no such clarification before. The reference sources give different information about the issue, but after a deep analysis, the author can confidently name the D.T. Butsinsky’s place of study after his graduating from the Kursk Theological College.

Myklebust's classic work, The Study of Missions in Theological Education (2 vols., 1955, 1957) in the first part, and centers, as did Myklebust, on five seminaries at mid-century: Southern Baptist, Yale, Union, Princeton, and Hartford. The second half examines, as of 1987, Princeton, Southwestern Baptist, Fuller's School of World Mission, Asbury's E. Stanley Jones School of World Mission and Evangelism, and the Overseas Ministries Study Center, and presents five brief reflective comments.

Although theological librarianship occurs most often at seminaries or graduate level theology programs, there are also librarians working with theology on an undergraduate level. In many cases, these librarians are responsible for additional subject areas and may or may not have any theological expertise or training. While the two groups do the same types of work, they are doing so in different ways. To explore these commonalities and differences, a study was conducted among undergraduate theology liaisons and those results were compared with the literature and data regarding graduate level theological librarianship. One hundred ten undergraduate librarians responded to a survey regarding theological liaison activities, and the results indicate both the need for more research and the need for further emphasis on undergraduate subject-area liaison duties in theology and adjacent areas.

AbstractTheological colleges and seminaries across the Anglican Communion are at a crossroads and this essay proposes a reorientation of their life towards serving the intentional discipleship of the whole people of God. This kind of change would affect the culture as well as the content of what they do. For example, their pedagogy could become that of ‘the flipped classroom’, where ordinands engage in an apprenticeship style of learning, with their time in college falling within placement learning and providing constructive theological reflection upon that prior learning. This will bring great benefits to these institutions through their becoming re-connected and re-embedded in the life of the church at grass roots level, giving them a valued and indispensable role in the mission of the church in diverse contexts.

The development of digital technology, especially the smartphone, has a tremendous impact within all persons and structures of society, including the seminarians and their formation in seminaries. They can no longer withdraw and refuse to utilize the various facilities or applications provided by smartphone. Instead, they must learn to use it appropriately, wisely and competently, sharpened by appropriate theological insights that reflect priestly spirituality based on a constant dialogue with God. This requires them to have discretionary skills regarding the use of smartphone. Using a quantitative and qualitative methods, this research focuses on the understanding and experience of discretion in using smartphone among the seminarians in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, based on John Cassian’s thoughts on discernment. The result shows that among the seminarians there is a gap between their understanding and their practice on discretion. On the one hand, they understand very well what discretion is and how it should be applied in using smartphone. However, on the other hand, they often do not practice it so they are easily distracted. This research, therefore, recommends that digital discernment skills among seminarians, both personal and communal, need to be continuously improved during their formation years.

The healing potential of books has been known since ancient times, while the term “bibliotherapy” was used for the first time in 1916. Since that time, the concept of bibliotherapy has still been developing. The goal of the article is to discover the methods of using bibliotherapy among young monks and students in theological seminaries. The author tries to explain the definition of bibliotherapy through the prism of literature — books written by the biggest Polish figures of this discipline, e.g. Irena Borecka or Wiktor Czernianin. Furthermore, some paragraphs of the text are devoted to the structure of The Holy Bible. The author highlights includes various paragraphs or scenes that might have a healing potential.Finally, the author reveals that the answers given by young monks and students in theological seminaries leads to the clear conclusion that using bibliotherapy among them happens very gently and often inadvertently. The article presents multiple observations when the survey respondents felt better, consoled, or comforted after reading The Holy Bible. The results of the study also point to moments when they experienced katharsis. The text presents their very own observations as extraordinary material for future reference.

The analysis of the history of the protest movement in theological educational institu-tions in Kursk is based on archival materials. The author emphasizes that in general, the protest movement in seminaries at the begin-ning of the 20th century is studied quite exten-sively nationwide and regionally, but the local participation of theological educational institu-tions in Kursk remains unexplored. As a result, the author reveals the participation degree of the students of Kursk Theo-logical Seminary and Kursk Women's Diocesan School in the protest movements in theo-logical educational institutions at the beginning of the 20th century.

educational institutions of Vitebsk in the 19th – early 20th centuries using the example of a theological school and
seminary. It was revealed that the leading form of music education was compulsory church singing lessons, which were
conducted throughout the entire period of study. Currently, some elements of the identified historical experience may be
relevant for use in theological seminaries and schools: the creation of a choir and training in playing musical instruments,
holding musical evenings, collective performance of patriotic songs at ceremonial meetings.

Full textAbstract:
Seminary students, despite having graduated from bachelors programs, struggle to make sense of the goals, processes, skills, and resources of research as graduate students. Beyond brief introductions to research, a scattered number of seminaries have developed either a separate theological information literacy course or have taken a through-the-curriculum approach to enhancing the information abilities of students. The former, however, separates information literacy from the curriculum, while the latter is difficult to implement and maintain. Living in a world of information glut, seminary professors are finding that traditional information dissemination models of education are becoming less viable. What is more, such models tend to teach students about a discipline rather than inviting them into it. These problems present a unique opportunity to place the teaching of information literacy at the foundation of theological education. With such an approach, students may be invited into the disciplines of their professors and enabled to practice these disciplines, thus becoming equipped to turn knowledge into praxis.

The paper discusses the work of music teachers in the theological schools between the two world wars. The theoretical model is based on the metaphor ?landscape of knowledge?, which is used in the music pedagogy, and the methodological approach is based on the concept of micronarratives. The focus is on four strong individual pedagogues - Dr Jefto Prnjatovic, Boris Volobujev, Mirko Pavlovic and Uros Jurisic - with the aim to position spiritual, social, institutional and cultural context of their activities, to consider how their knowledge from other, non-music, areas was relevant for teaching experience in the sphere of church singing, and to determine the (dis)continuity of pedagogical practices with regard to the period before the First World War. These pedagogues were chosen because their pedagogical activities lasted continually for at least ten years, because of the theological schools in which they worked and because of the fact that there is very little knowledge about their work in this area.

The challenge of integrating mission across the theological curriculum is faced by seminaries and other institutions. At one large Lutheran seminary, the discipline of historical theology provides one important avenue for missional education and reflection. By moving beyond a narrow focus on “history of missions” to develop a “missional hermeneutic of history,” the inherently cross-cultural dimension of historical study can significantly reshape the curriculum by drawing increased attention to the non-western world.

Full textAbstract:
Theology is a course or discipline studied in some universities and seminaries in Nigeria. It is a scholarly discipline recognized in Nigeria as a means of transmitting knowledge about God and His relationship with His creation. Various Christian denominations established theological Institutions in Nigeria. These institutions engaged in developing theological education for their various denominational purposes. The findings of this paper reveals that the approaches to theological education in Nigeria appears to be inadequate, abstract, foreign, and unable to address the existential needs of Africans and Nigerians in particular. The paper employed descriptive-analytical methods and argued that the theological epistemic approach, which deals with African existential issues, should be encouraged to help handle the African existential crises. Decolonizing epistemic approaches to theological education in the Nigerian context must be existential. This concerns the holistic development of Africa, such as health, science education, politics and the likes. The paper recommends emphasizing practicalizing theological education to help Africa overcome her peculiar developmental challenges. This means that theological education in Nigeria must pay attention to the types of knowledge and skills needed for self and societal transformation. This requires knowledge that goes beyond cognitive understanding (episteme) to include practical wisdom (phronesis) and skill (techne). Thus, there is a need for a paradigm shift in Nigeria’s theological epistemic approach from a theoretical exercise to a practical discipline that can influence people’s lives directly.

Church libraries played a great role in spreading knowledge at the turn of XIX-XX centuries. Parish libraries included the latest literature of an educational character. The diocesan library stocks contained books on history, pedagogy and other sciences. Libraries of theological seminaries had more extensive literature list in foreign languages. Libraries of religious schools besides books had periodicals. A huge contribution to developing the librarianship in Siberia had religious brotherhoods, which opened libraries and reading rooms as well.
