Mother Churches?
Registration applications are coming in for the upcoming conference of the
Fellow****p of St Alban and St Sergius (June 4-June 8). This conference,
which will bring together world-class theologians and churchmen from
Europe
and North America, will be investigating the question of how Orthodox,
Anglican, and Roman Catholic churches understand primacy. This question
both
unites and divides, both within and between these communions.
Some of the keynote speakers include:
* Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia,
* Metropolitan Philip (Saliba) of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian
Archdiocese of North America
* Bishop Hilarion (Alfeyev) of Vienna and Austria, Russian Orthodox Church
* Bishop Keith Ackerman, Diocese of Quincy
* The Very Rev. Patrick Henry Reardon, Senior Editor, Touchstone Magazine
* The Very Rev. John H. Erickson, Professor, St Vladimir's Seminary
* The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, Editor and Chief, First Things Magazine
* Igumen Jonah Paffhausen, Abbott of Monastery of St John of Shanghai and
San Francisco
* The Rev. Warren Tanghe, SSC, Chaplain to All Saints' Sisters of the Poor
Convent
* The Rev. Canon J. Robert Wright, Professor of Ecclesiastical History,
General Theological Seminary
The conference will explore Rome, Constantinople, and Canterbury and how
each plays a role of primacy over the local Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and
Anglican churches around the world. Questions such as "how is primacy
understood among and between the churches themselves"
and "what role does communion with a 'mother church' play in establi****ng
the identity of a local church" will be discussed. In addition, there will
be workshops, plenary sessions, and wor****p services.
Further information is available on the event web site for the conference.
Online registration is available.
