Orthodox Lecture Series

Beginning last November, the Antiochian and Greek Orthodox parishes of Brooklyn began sponsoring a monthly lecture series. The lectures are being held on a Thursday night each month, alternating between St. Mary and Holy Cross Churches in Bay Ridge. Each month's lecture will be delivered by a different presenter. The overall theme for the lectures is: "The Emmaus Journey: From the Cradle to the Kingdom, Discussions on Moral and Ethical Issues." The fourth lecture will be at Holy Cross Orthodox Church on 83rd Street and Ridge Blvd. in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on Thursday, February 11th at 7:00pm and Archpriest Thomas Zain of St. Nicholas Cathedral will be the speaker on "End of Life Issues: Elder Care, Euthanasia, D.N.R./D.N.I., wills, Burial Rites, Cremation, Judgement, Resurrection" Click here for the flyer and church addresses.
