Greetings!

Campus activities seem to get quieter in the next few months. Few, if any, classes are presented. But, the behind the scenes activities are anything but quiet, as we plan and prepare for next year's busy class schedule. Please take a look at the Year-At-A-Glance to see what we mean.

In this issue, we shall highlight some of the great resources we have on the Sancta Sophia Seminary website. We understand how important it is to have a place from which to gather information and gain inspiration.

At this time of Thanksgiving, we are grateful to all those who, in their many ways, support Sancta Sophia Seminary. We thank you for sharing your time, talent, and resources. Heartfelt blessings go out especially to our students, staff, teachers, advisors, mentors, and all co-workers, seen and unseen.

Infinite gratitude,

Many ask if there is someplace closer to their home in which to fulfill seminary course credit. The Sophia Schools of Wisdom are authorized to teach several classes which are honored for credit at Sancta Sophia Seminary. They also offer other specialized spiritual development classes throughout the year. Each school is independently directed by a Sancta Sophia Seminary ordained  minister. You can find out more by contacting a Sophia School of Wisdom in your area.

In addition to the Sophia Schools of Wisdom, there are many of our ministers who teach throughout the world. A listing of our national and international associates can be found below.
