Beginning in late September and continuing through December, St. Athanasius Orthodox Church will host monthly talks centered around the theme of Orthodox Christianity in America. Each presenter, including all of our local Lexington priests, will discuss the history of his particular church body, the key moments of development in each church community, challenges each has faced, paramount figures, and the general direction of these bodies. The talks will also consider what each tradition (e.g., Greek, Antiochian, Slavic) adds to the greater building up of the Orthodox Church in North America, especially in the light of the Ecumenical Patriarch’s desire that all Orthodox in America move toward greater unity.
