Yale this summer, theological study?

The Amherst College Chaplains have received the following note with attachments. You might be interested in seeing what Yale might have to offer you or a friend this summer.

Dear Chaplains,

It is a pleasure to share with you the course offerings for Summer Term at Sterling Divinity Quadrangle 2011 (see link to flyer below), which will be held on the Yale campus June 6-24. I want to extend an invitation for you to attend, in addition to students who might be considering a theological education or graduate studies in religion following college. Courses are geared to a broad audience of clergy and lay persons and, as such, would be appropriate for advanced undergraduate students.

Below is a brief description of the program. Please feel free to circulate the flyer to students and other departments at your school, such as Religious Studies. Should you have questions, please contact the Summer Term coordinator, Joanne Van Vlack, at Joanne.vanvlack@yale.edu, 203-432-6550.

Best regards,


Anna Ramirez
