Armenian Seminary moves to Armonk, NY

Post by Barbara »

In case anybody is interested, the Armenian St Nersess Seminary purchased a large plot of land at Armonk, New York.
They are apparently in the process of moving there from their old location in New Rochelle, NY.
There, the only Armenian seminary in the Western world was closely affiliated with the programs of St Vladimir's Seminary at Crestwood, NY.
Now it seems they may be trying to be more independent and Armenian in character, though it is not stated like that.
Just a guess.

St Nersess, the seminary's patron, is described as :
"St. Nersess Shnorhali—the Graceful—a great hymnographer, theologian, ecumenist, and Catholicos (in office 1166-1173AD)"
