I am very pleased to announce that Athanatos Christian Ministries has partnered with Hieropraxis, led by Dr. Holly Ordway, in their mutual quest to defend, promote, and transmit the Christian faith through the arts, and literature in particular.
ACM has been pursuing its vision for ‘literary apologetics’ by hosting conferences and writing contests for almost five years. These efforts have been primarily geared towards casting that vision and calling Christian authors and apologists to embrace it. With the help of Dr. Ordway, ACM is going to go much further. Writers and evangelists are not going to be prodded towards ‘literary apologetics.’ A new series of online courses, culminating in a Literary Apologetics Certificate, will actually equip artists, philosophers, and theologians for the task.
The courses are hosted in conjunction with ACM’s online academy of apologetics. Dr. Ordway will be the program director for the academy’s literary apologetics program. Even better, we are taking applicants for the program effective immediately, and our first courses in this area of study will be available in the winter session, which begins in mid-February, 2012. For more details, please visit the literary apologetics certificate page.
But that’s not all!
Dr. Ordway will also be presenting at ACM’s third annual online apologetics conference in mid-April, 2012. Indeed, Hieropraxis will be one of the conference sponsors! While the details of the conference are still somewhat tentative, you are welcome to check it out and even register right now.
I look forward to working with Dr. Ordway long into the future- as well as all those others out there yet to be discovered who likewise see the need to communicate the faith through the arts.
Yours,
Anthony Horvath
Executive Director, Athanatos Christian Ministries
