MSC Accreditation Process Goals

In order to meet the requirements in the accreditation process, the MSC immerses itself into several projects and activities, including:
  • Focusing on specific religious studies related to the Virgin Mary as an individual, saint, religious figure, and symbol of unadulterated faith;
  • Conducting research related to issues of faith;
  • Creating a large Marian database with the potential to yield significant growth;
  • Establishing a specialized library;
  • Becoming involved in Marian research as a historical figure and a theological and cultural symbol;
  • Combining faith and science, revelation and reason, in order to continue discovering the truth about the Holy Mother;
  • Analyzing theology through a scientific lens and criticizing scientific analysis through a spiritual and rational lens;
  • Conducting Marian research through the internet and other means of information technology;
  • Supporting science with religion, and enhancing religion with science;
  • Making the subject of the Virgin Mary a scientific subject in order to complement the religious subject;
  • Publishing the outcome of such research in the form of books;
  • Endorsing the study of the scientific and religious aspects of the Holy Mother by using contemporary information and personal experiences from Lebanon and the Middle East;
  • Aiming to become a center of dialogue on the subject between Eastern Churches, and between Christianity and Islam;
  • Publishing magazines and specialized encyclopedias;
  • Introducing academic Marian courses at all levels, particularly through distance learning;
  • Creating an independent website that posts all activities of the MSC and provides interested scholars with a viable way to contact us.
