Feb 18
Master Class on "For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church"

This event has passed.

Open to current students and faculty. Others interested in participating should contact us. Copies of the book will be available for registrants.

Students and faculty are invited to join us for a seminar on For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church with two of the document’s drafters, Profs. Perry Hamalis and Gayle Woloschak.

The fruit of critical reflection by Orthodox Christian lay Scholars and Church leaders, For the Life of the World offers guidance to navigate contemporary challenges faced by the Orthodox Christian on a wide range of social issues—including racism, bioethics, ecology, and human rights. The document also gives a synthetic presentation of the Orthodox Christian perspective to the wider Christian world.

We will also host a public panel on For the Life of the World on February 17. 


For all events held at Gavin House, the Lumen Christi Institute follows Chicago Department of Public Health Guidance for in-person gatherings. Please see here for the city’s most up-to-date guidelines. These are guidelines subject to change.
