On June 26, 2020, the Scientific Council was held at Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary. The session was chaired by the Rector of the educational institution, Protopresbyter Giorgi Zviadadze, Professor, PhD in Theology and Philology. The Rector thanked the members of the council for having gathered for the session and spoke about the high professionalism and spirituality that should characterize all the employees of Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary. Protopresbyter Giorgi Zviadadze noted that Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary should be an example of discipline, awareness, aspiration for knowledge, humility, diligence and other Christian virtues.

In his introductory speech, Protopresbyter Giorgi Zviadadze also touched upon the issue of remote learning, which is successfully carried out at Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary. Despite the transition to this type of teaching, lectures were delivered throughout the semester extensively, without any omission.

The Council discussed scientific work, which the departments of TTAS are currently involved in. Protopresbyter Giorgi Zviadadze noted that profound research work should be carried out at this school and textbooks should be published, which will greatly contribute to the professional growth of students of the relevant profile.

In respect of the published literature, the departments of Patristics and Dogmatics, that of History of the Church and Asceticism and of History of the Church of Georgia deserve to be marked out.
