CHANT.HCHC.EDU
This program is designed to help theological
students preparting for ordination to the priesthood learn
the theological and musical content of Byzantine sacred music.
This effort has been made possible by a generous
grant from the Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in
Theology and Religion to the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School
of Theology. The purpose of the grant is to promote and study
the use of technology in teaching theology.
