This is not an exhaustive list and you are encouraged to explore other courses that may do so, but we did not receive this word.

Language Classes
NB: The only elementary language classes for which credits can count towards graduation are those listed on page 46 of the 2008-2009 YDS Bulletin: Latin, classical and biblical Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ugaritic, and Coptic. Normally, the limit for elementary languages will be 12 hours.
Study Strategies from BTFO Academic Presentation
Here is a personal list of thoughts and reminders that helped me through the academic year. Many are elementary, but I was surprised how often I neglected the most obvious things. A complete list of 21 Thoughts and Reminders (with tips on writing papers, doing reading assignments, etc.) is available to anyone by request: awet.andemicael@yale.edu. Warmest Best Wishes, Awet Andemicael, September 2008
Some Thoughts and Reminders Concerning Academic Life – Part I
Continually commit yourself and your studies to God. Pray and read the Bible regularly for devotional purposes (aside from the academic assignments you are given). Stay attached to the Source, the Vine, so that you are continually open to the inspiration and sustenance of God’s Holy Spirit.
1. When choosing classes, give yourself at least one relatively low-stress class: e.g., a class with relatively light requirements (although do not confuse “few” requirements with “light” requirements – that seminar with one 25-page paper at the end of the semester may be way more stressful than another class with more assignments but less weight placed on each one), a class on a topic with which you have some familiarity or expertise, a class taken credit/no credit, or a class that you find so uplifting and fun that it energizes you for the rest of your day.
2. Take into account the actual number of hours you will need to complete the readings, papers, etc. when figuring out which/how many classes to take.
3. Consider how many exams and papers you will end up having at the end of the semester and paced throughout the semester.
4. Try to get on top of things, or even a bit ahead, right at the beginning of the semester. Each week, it gets harder and harder to catch up. However, if you miss the first class and but later decide to take it, the world will not actually come to an end.
5. Thank God repeatedly for reading weeks. However, try as much as possible to work as if they did not exist.
6. Allow yourself as much time as you possibly can to study and do your assignments, in order to have a high-quality learning experience–sort of like chewing your food thoroughly, rather than taking big bites and swallowing. You may get the nutritional content of the food in both cases, but the latter may give you indigestion.

Loring Sabin Ensign Lecture.
Mary McClintock Fulkerson, The Divinity School Duke University, will deliver a lecture entitled: “Ecclesiology as if Bodies Matter: (Re) Shaping Moral Imaginations.” Bodies do matter in U.S. churches, but mostly in negative ways. Sexuality, race and gender are often topics to avoid. Claims of inclusiveness and welcome notwithstanding, the racial, class and “ableness” homogeneity of most churches suggests that in many ways dominant groups avoid marked bodies. Defining such avoidance as a theological version of legal “colorblindness” this talk argues for a sacramental moral imagination that takes bodies seriously.)

Annand Program in Spiritual Formation: Sign-up Now!
Through September, Jane Stickney, program Director, will be meeting with students to pair them with ongoing program offerings. Students from a diversity of religious and personal backgrounds who will find their vocations in the church, the academy, or other service are encouraged to explore participation.
- First year students: Spiritual Formation Groups. Formation groups of 6-8 students and an experienced spiritual director meet weekly to explore a variety of spiritual disciplines and themes in the spiritual life. This small group experience can be invaluable for formation for ministry, developing a sense of community at Yale, and placing academic theological study in the context of one’s spiritual life.
- Second and Third Year Students: Spiritual Direction: The purpose of spiritual direction is to become more aware of God’s presence and therefore more discerning and responsive to God’s grace and invitations. Annand connects students with trained spiritual directors from a variety of theological traditions all of whom share a commitment to the confidentiality and boundaries that allow honest reflection and exchange. Meetings are usually once per month for about an hour.
If you are interested in participating or just wish to find out more, please sign up outside the Annand meditation room door (opposite the Berkeley offices) or email (jbstickney@juno.com) to schedule a meeting with Jane Stickney, Director of the Annand Program.
