n
order that those providing
this training not be overburdened, the elders of Christ Church
will ensure that the number of those studying remain small (a
maximum of 8 students per year are accepted each year). This also
ensures that the students will receive a good amount of personal
attention and instruction.
In order to study at Greyfriars', the following should be sent to the elders of Christ
Church, PO Box 8741, Moscow, Idaho, 83843.
1. A completed
Greyfriars' Hall Application. This form can be obtained from the
Christ Church office.
2. Testimony of
Christian experience and membership in a sound Christian church.
3.
A
statement on your view and application of Christian liberty
(e.g. Do
you drink or smoke? How much? Why?)
4. Letter of
recommendation from a board of elders, specifying that there is
good reason to believe the individual may be called to the
Christian ministry of preaching or teaching the Word.
5. Letter of personal
intent and calling. Included will be a short description of why the candidate thinks he is qualified and gifted for the pastorate.
6. Transcript of any
university or graduate school work, with any work in classical
or New Testament Greek specially noted. Competence in Greek is a
prerequisite for study at Greyfriars'.
If
preliminary or parallel study in Greek is necessary,
arrangements would need to be made with Greyfriars' Hall (no
charge) or separate arrangements can be made with
New Saint Andrews College,
a sister ministry of Christ Church, or the University of Idaho.
7. Candidates will ask at least 10 people to “vote” for him to be an
elder (a ballot template will be included with the application
form). No more than half of these should be family members, but some family members should be included. They will send their “votes” directly to Greyfriars’ Hall.
8. A recent
photo of the applicant and his family.
Applications will be
accepted until March 31 each year and candidates will be notified
of their preliminary acceptance by the end of April.
Final acceptance is
dependent on an entrance interview with the administration of Greyfriars'
Hall.
If the classes are not
full by the deadline the classes will be filled on a first come
first served basis after April. |
