Amy's Studies

Amy will be studying this year at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies (OCHJS), located four miles north of Oxford in a little town called Yarnton. Because we live in Summertown, we are only about 2 miles away and it is not difficult for her to catch a bus and be there in 20 minutes or so.

She is studying at a 400-year-old English estate known as Yarnton Manor. She has already been there several times to meet faculty and the other students in her program and her classes begin this coming week. Emily and I joined her twice to visit and meet some of the faculty, students, and administrators.

Here's our Hebrew scholar at the front entrance! The year is sectioned into three terms, beginning with the first term which is called the Michaelmas term that runs this fall through December.

Here's the Manor in which her classes will be held. She'll be studying Biblical Hebrew, Jewish Liturgy, and the Religion of Israel. Talk about insights into the Old Testament!

That's also the OCHJS shuttle bus in the picture that she and the students can ride to/from Oxford when needed.

Here's a few of the rear of the manor along with the gardens. Emily had a lot of fun exploring!



 

Here's a place Amy will spend many hours this year...you get one guess...that's right - the library! It's actually a converted barn! She also will be studying in Oxford at a couple of libraries there.

 

We are excited for Amy and know this year will be a great year of growth and preparation for her future teaching ministry - the theological training and equipping of international church leaders for their own ministries!
