Topics will include a variety of subjects including saints and angels, the Divine Liturgy, the Bible and its interpretation, the sacrament of confession, the Mother of God and others. The next lecture will be at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church on Ridge Blvd and 84rd St. in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on Thursday, May 22nd at 7:30pm and Father Eugene Papas will be the speaker on "Heros of the Faith: The Fathers and the Ecumenical Councils."
