St Vladimir’s Seminary will host the 33rd annual Orthodox Education Day on Saturday, October 5, 2002. The annual event draws scores of people from the tri-state area and beyond for a day of worship, fellowship, education, and entertainment.
This year’s theme is “The Future of Orthodox Theology.” Workshops will develop the theme: Developing a Parish Website; Responding to Crisis in your Community; The Changing Orthodox Parish; Holiness Today and in the Future; The Call of the Laity; and Presentations on Iconography.
The choir from St Michael’s Antiochian Orthodox Church in Louisville, KY will sing responses to the Liturgy, along with the St Vladimir’s Seminary Chorale. They will also be featured in concert.
An invitation is also extended to the youth participants at the All-American Council of the Orthodox Church in America this past July in Orlando, FL, as well as to youth participants in Orthodox camps through the U.S. and Canada. The seminary hopes that each Orthodox Education Day will be a day of reunions for our young people.
Of particular note, the seminary is pleased to welcome Metropolitan Herman, the newly elected primate of the Orthodox Church in America and president of the school, who will preside at the 9:30 a.m. Liturgy. Of equal note, the seminary will also welcome Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk who is the chairman of the Synodal Theological Commission of the Russian Orthodox Church. His Eminence will be the featured speaker at the academic symposium entitled, “Russian Theological Traditions: Yesterday and Today” held October 2-4 on the seminary campus. As fitting conclusion to the symposium and as recognition of Metropolitan Filaret’s untiring labor in the area of theological education, the seminary will bestow an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree upon him immediately following the Liturgy on Saturday.
Guests will also enjoy foods from many lands, a children’s booth, and specialty exhibits.
