This lecture is one of a series of patristic talks organized by the Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology at St. Augustine’s Seminary.
The Mother of God teaches Christians how to worship, witness, and wonder. Using the hymnographic and festal cycle of the Byzantine Liturgy, a unique summary of Early Christian perspectives on Mary, we will explore how these pre-modern perspectives can educate contemporary Christians.
The talk will be followed by fellowship and light refreshments.
This talk is FREE but registration is required. Capacity is limited and attendance is by registration only. Register via the St. Augustine's Seminary website here.
