The Decisive Importance of Councils in the Life of the Church with Metropolitan Kallistos

The Decisive Importance of Councils in the Life of the Church with His Eminence Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia to present the Florovsky Lecture
Metropolitan Kallistos returns to Fordham to serve as the keynote speaker for the Conference in Preparation for the Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Church, co-sponsored by the Orthodox Theological Society in America (OTSA) and the Orthodox Christian Studies Center. A scholar at the University of Oxford who lectures throughout the world, Metropolitan Kallistos resonates equally with laypersons and clerics, on both timeless mysteries and urgent contemporary concerns.
In his presentation of the 2005 Orthodoxy in America Lecture at Fordham, Ecological Crisis; Ecological Hope: The Orthodox Vision of Creation, His Eminence describes the Earth as a gift from God and cautions us not to allow selfishness to destroy its resources. His seminal books, The Orthodox Church and The Orthodox Way, are among the most frequently read volumes on Eastern Orthodoxy in the English language.
