PARTNERS

In order to implement the founder’s vision and spearhead its work, IPSEC established various relationships with institutions from the USA, Romania, and Moldova which impart similar goals. Currently, IPSEC has one permanent affiliation, two permanent partnerships, several limited partnerships and associations.

Affiliation with Harvard Divinity School

IPSEC is affiliated with Harvard Divinity School as an agency site for its Field Education program. Considering that authentic training for the ministry must include both practical experience and reflection on that experience, the Field Education Program at Harvard Divinity School was built around guided learning experiences that integrate theory and practice to develop professional attitudes. By exploring resources from Eastern and Oriental Christianity, IPSEC provides the students with training on inter-religious understanding and dialogue; religion and diplomacy; nationalism and pan-Orthodoxy in Russia and Eastern Europe; Orthodox Christianity in the Middle East, North Africa, and America; Orthodoxy and the ecumenical movement, and issues of restorative justice and conflict transformation.
