STUDY CONTENTS
iNTRODUCTION
You can choose to take part in the entire study program or just individual courses. The course may also be chosen with the view of entering priesthood, and potentially lead to the preparation course for ordination. This will become apparent for those interested over the course of the Seminary. The Hamburger Priesterseminar is involved as a cooperative partner for the Nordic Seminary.
Methodology and objectives of the study
The Nordic Seminar would like to inspire all participants to engage in regular self-study in the interim between courses, the results of which will be presented to the group. Depending on the agreement, this can be verbal, written or artistic.
- Getting to know and delving deeper into the Gospels and the Apocalypse are among the fundamental activities for the participants.
- One topic about the sacraments will be studied thoroughly and presented.
- Everyone will have to write a biography and produce a written paper.
- The participants' personal relationship to christianity will be explored.
- Which times do we live in? Describe trends from current events
- How do I plan my own study time?
Additional self-study topics for those who have their sights set on becoming a priest:
- My relationship to prayer and religious life
- My relationship to the Christian community and community life
- My relationship to anthroposophy
- My relationship to meditation
- It is desirable that everyone seeks support from a mentor
- Practises and studies language and declamation
- Study of Rudolf Steiner's courses for priests (June and fall 1921)
- Beginning of proclamation through contributions and sermons
lANGUAGE
THE MAIN LANGUAGE IN NORDIC SEMINARY IS ENGLISH GB
Linguistic diversity is a hallmark of the Nordic Seminar.
Lecturers will most often choose English, German, or their own Nordic language in order to communicate their content in the best possible way. But we encourage those who speak English well to use English.
But don’t worry — interpretation will be available.
The choice of language also depends on the composition of the student group. When needed, we divide into language-based discussion groups.
For administrative and practical matters, such as accommodation, travel, and finances, we normally use English.
