Upon the invitation of His Eminence Metropolitan-Archbishop PHILIP Saliba, the Dean Bishop John Yazigi visited the Archdiocese of North America in order to deliver the degrees of the MA in Applied Orthodox Theology program. This program is operated by the Antiochian House of Studies and the graduates of this MA receive their degrees from the St. John of Damascus Institute of Theology, University of Balamand. The ceremony coincided with the clergy Symposium of the Archdiocese of North America at the Antiochian Village.
