Registration and more information are at www.bethanyseminary.edu\/academy<\/a> or call the academy office at 800-287-8822 ext. 1824. For a Susquehanna Valley Ministry Center course, as noted below, contact SVMC@etown.edu<\/a> or 717-361-1450 or find forms at www.etown.edu\/svmc<\/a> .<\/p>\n Note that while the academy continues to accept students beyond the registration deadline for each course, on that deadline date it is determined whether enough students have registered to be able to offer the course. Many courses have required pre-course readings, so students need to be sure to allow enough time in advance of the course to complete the readings. Students should not purchase texts or make travel plans until the registration deadline has passed, and a course confirmation is received.<\/p>\n Fall 2015<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Oct. 29-31: Bethany Seminary Presidential Forum directed independent study unit (DISU)<\/strong> on \u201cJust Peace,\u201d at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, Ind., with instructor Debbie Roberts.
