It is a scary thing to be preparing to be a priest in the church. The responsibilities are huge. It is humbling to think that God would call me to be here. I thank God for the opportunity to be here and to study with under the people who are my professors. Last week I heard a lot about the academic requirements of VTS .
People here are proud of the academics.
A Masters in Divinity degree requires 100 hours of course credits. You must take a semester of a biblical language. You must take a class from another seminary in the area. We study Church History, Old Testament, New Testament, Liturgical Music, Theology, Homiletics, pastoral care just to name a few. I have several papers, multiple Greek quizzes and at least a handful of exams.
