(To Enroll, click HERE or scroll down to the Enrollment Form.) To begin studying, select your current lesson from the smartphone menu, or for computers use the blue heading above. It will open the lesson and the corresponding chapter in "On the Incarnation of the Word." Then scroll down in the lesson to study and answer the self-grading quiz questions. You can "bookmark" this tab to access both the lessons and the corresponding chapters later for the following lessons. To read the lessons in full-screen, press here. You can also click the 3-bar menu button in the upper-left corner and select "Full-screen Lesson 1."
When you hover your cursor over the highlighted bold links, you may see some pop-up "alerts": these aren't sent to the instructor, they're just to keep you alert. But your answers to the numbered "Questions" that have one-answer "radio-buttons" (little circles) and one-or-more-answers "check-boxes" (little squares) are sent to the instructor. At the end of each lesson, answer the discussion question in Skype (your answer can be seen by the instructor and the whole online class) and reply to at least one of the other students to start a good discussion. Please keep your replies respectful and relevant to each lesson.
If you'd rather have PDF version of "On the Incarnation of the Word" in a separate full-screen tab in your browser to read, print, or save on your computer, tablet, or phone, and also read the lessons in full-screen, press here (on phones, be sure you have a PDF app installed). You can select the desired chapter by pressing on the page number on the "Contents" page to jump to that chapter. And you can press the "Right-Arrow" key to jump forward 1 page, or the "Left-Arrow" key to jump back 1 page. To make the text larger, look for the "Plus" button in the PDF's window and press it a few times.
Click this next link to read in the Great Commission (biblia02/nz01/Matfei28.htm#18" target="xrefs" title="Double-click">Mat. 28:18-20) below: Jesus commanded His disciples to make more disciples by teaching them to obey ("observe" but not just "be spectators of") all that He commanded us to do. Thus the emphasis in this "On the Incarnation" course is not merely on learning Biblical and theological facts, but on obeying these truths in our everyday lives.

You can also select "S.M.C." on the top menu and enroll in our "Social Ministry of the Church" courses with a group of other students so that you receive the full benefit of interacting with them as well as with the course instructor.
We use a Skype Discussion Group, a good all-in-one app that's easy to use: select the "Chat" area for discussion questions when members don't have to be all online at the same time ("asynchronous"), and select the group video with screen sharing when all members are online together ("synchronous"). The host can mute all or individual guests during moderated video calls to avoid "feedback squeal" and background noise, then guests must unmute themselves to speak. You can use any email address or smartphone number to set up a Skype account, either on the WWW or by installing their app on your smartphone or computer.
