SPbCU becomes a member of Consortium of European Baptists Theological Schools (CEBTS)
St. Petersburg Christian University was officially informed of its acceptance into membership with THE CONSORTIUM OF EUROPEAN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS (CEBTS) http:www.cebts.eu.
This consortium was founded in September 2001 and as a member institution provides to SPbCU the opportunity to dialog with other theological institutions throughout Europe.
Some of the stated purposes of the CEBTS are:
· promote the exchange of teachers between CEBTS members for short-term visiting lecture series as further outlined below
· promote specialist work on curricula development
· facilitate the transfer of students from one CEBTS member to another, where appropriate
· develop ways of exchanging information about books, software and other resources suitable and recommended for theological education
· promote the networking and meeting of lecturers within specific subject areas to discuss contemporary developments within their fields of expertise
· share information on the courses available at Consortium seminaries
· develop common ways of promoting the resources available (eg through linked web sites etc)
We are very excited to be counted as one of the 27 members of this consortium and look forward to participating.
