The Kiev Theological Academy has launched an online lecture and consultation course for students of the St. John of Kronstadt Pastoral School of the Mid-American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, thus strengthening ties between the Russian Orthodox diaspora and the spiritual heart of the Russian Orthodox Church in Kiev.
The program is blessed by His Grace Bishop Sylvester of Belogorodsk, the Academy rector, reports the official ROCOR site.
The newly-launched courses are part of the cooperation agreement between the two schools that was signed in May, 2017, aimed at increasing cooperation between the schools in all areas of education.
The Pastoral School also has a cooperation agreement with the St. Petersburg Theological Academy and the Russian Orthodox University of St. John the Theologian in Moscow.
