NYTS President Dr. Dale Irvin to teach Global Pentecostalism/Charismatic Movements

Colleagues,

This coming fall semester I will be teaching Global Pentecostal/Charismatic Movements again at NYTS. The class is being offered Monday evenings, and meets from 6-9 pm at Riverside Church. Students can cross-register for credit from Union, Drew and General through regular means. Others must register with the permission of their respective Deans. I want to be sure you know of this class in case you have someone who is interested in the area, or you want to attend one or more session yourself.

I especially want to let you know that we three outstanding guests lecturers coming to the class this fall. I am opening the class to the wider community on these evenings with an offer to join us. So please pass the word!
