Canadian Society for Syriac Studies (CSSS) and Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute would like to apologies for not streaming the lectures of the Symposium held at the University of Toronto by CSSS on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2003. Scheduling issues at the university's media center were the main reason. Both CSSS and BM are committed to stream future lectures and archive them via the Beth Mardutho web site. The media center of the university assured us that more care will be taken in streaming future events.
