Eastern Christian Studies: Toward a Paradigm Change

Join us on on Thursday, March 26th, for a lecture by Yury Avvakumov on the Theological Renewal of Eastern Christianity in the Face of Russia's War in Ukraine.

Eastern Christian Studies is facing a paradigm shift. The obvious cause is Russia's war in Ukraine and the "war ideology" of the Russian Orthodox Church. However, other factors are also at work, including the growing interest in non-Byzantine forms of Eastern Christianity (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, etc.) and the increasing confidence of Eastern Catholic Churches, including the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. A fresh look at the history and pastoral experience of these churches and traditions can open new, exciting perspectives for theological thought.

The evening will begin with Lenten Vespers at 6:00pm with the Lecture starting at 7:00pm and light refreshments to follow.
