DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION ANNOUNCES
2004 FALL INTERNET CLASSES

"The Ten Commandments for the Contemporary Orthodox Christian"

Brookline, MA - The Department of Religious Education of the Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese of America announces the Fall 2004 schedule of religious
education classes for adults, families and parish educators over the
Internet.  The theme of the ISOS Fall Semester Classes is: The Ten
Commandments for the Contemporary Orthodox Christian. The series of eleven
90-minute educational classes are intended to provide Christians the
opportunity to examine the spiritual directives of the Decalogue (Ten
Commandments) in light of contemporary life.

The Fall Semester classes will take place each Tuesday evening (September
28 - December 7, 2004, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST) at the Saint Demetrios Greek
Orthodox Church in Weston, Massachusetts and will be taught by Rev. Dr.
Frank Marangos, Director of the Archdiocese Department of Religious
Education and adjunct assistant professor of Religious Education and
Homiletics at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.

Apart from those who can physically attend, the classes can also be heard
and viewed in real- time by anyone with a computer and Internet access.
The broadcast is being made available by the Archdiocese Department of
Internet Ministries through the Archdiocese web server.  This year's
presentations will again be provided in streaming video so that web
participants will be able to view the actual class presentations as they
are being delivered.

The ISOS web site address is: http://www.isos.goarch.org.  The presentation
will also be archived so that individuals can listen to the classes when
their schedule permits.  A schedule and class syllabus is available on the
ISOS Internet Web Site.

Certificates of educational recognition will be provided to students who
participate in the classes and teachers who are engaged in the Teacher
Certification Program of the Department of Religious Education.

The series of eleven classes are offered free of charge to all Orthodox
faithful.  The first class will convene on Tuesday, September 28 from 7:00
