Commencement at Holy Trinity Seminary

My congratulations go out to Holy Trinity Seminary's graduating class of 2010. My particularly congratulations go out to my old boss, Protodeacon Vladimir Tsurikov (pictured, above), the Dean, who was ordained to the priesthood (and elevated to the rank of Archpriest) by His Eminence, Metropolitan Hilarion of Eastern America and New York, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.

The commencement speaker was Dr Valeria Nollan, the L. Palmer Brown Professor of Interdisciplinary Humanities and Associate Professor of Russian at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN.
