Annual Symposium A Great Success!

Over 100 attended to hear Father Josiah Trenham present the Cross and the Crescent, a thought provoking discussion that reviewed the history of Orthodoxy and Islam and it's impact on today's society. The single most significant historical event in the history of Orthodox Christianity is the rise of Islam. Nothing compares to its impact on the life of the Church in the world- not the Crusades, not the Great Schism, not the Bolshevik Revolution. This lecture compared Christian and Muslim views of mission and the world, and described how Orthodox Christianity has related to Islam over our more than 14 centuries of mutual life. Go to www.ancientfaith.com in two weeks to listen to this lecture.
