Full of Grace
The Theotokos as Model for Our Lives:
A Historical, Theological and Iconographic Journey.

With Dr. Eugenia Constantinou
University of San Diego
Theotokos
What do we REALLY know about the Theotokos? Perhaps we imagine her as simple and submissive? Could she have been ardent or assertive?  Was she always passive and accepting or might she have been a perfectionist?  Considering the difference between daily life in first century Palestine and daily life in 21st century America, how can the Theotokos possibly serve as a spiritual example for modern men and women? Is she a realistic role model or an unattainable ideal?

Program

Part 1 - Life or Legend? Theology or Piety? What do we really know about the Theotokos and why don’t we know more? How important was the Theotokos in the early Church and why?

Part 2 - Extraordinary Exemplar: A reflection on the life of the Theotokos through the iconography of the Church. Spectacular icons will illustrate her life and help us gain new insights into how she can be a paradigm for us to follow.

“Beginning to Pray” Adult & Teen Series in Ft. Worth

St. Barbara Orthodox Church in Southwest Ft. Worth is pleased to offer this Fall an introductory adult and teen series on prayer. Archbishop Anthony Bloom’s celebrated work, “Beginning to Pray,” will be used as a guide. Copies will be available for purchase, and a reading of the text will be helpful for participants, but not essential.

Bloom, a former WWII Surgeon in the French army, and later an Orthodox hierarch, became known internationally for his talks and writings on prayer and the Christian life. His works concerning Christian prayer transcend denominational lines, approaching the subject from the viewpoint of a person seeking answers to life’s ultimate questions about existence itself, and God’s activity in one’s life, specifically as it relates to prayer and a personal relationship with the Creator.

From the publisher of Beginning to Pray: “The book has established itself as a modern spiritual classic. Hailed both by Catholics and Protestants, it was written by an Orthodox Archbishop for people who had never prayed before and has been read and loved by persons at all levels of spiritual development.”

Over a six week period classes at St. Barbara’s will aim at fostering an understanding of the basic principles of prayer found in “Beginning to Pray,” and as practiced by Christians for 2000 years.

For more information one may call (817) 294-0325. For registration simply call the Church or email us through the Church’s website with your name, contact information, and the number of participants you represent. Refreshments will be offered, however no child care will be available. The Church is located at 5201 Altamesa Boulevard.

Please see the “Beginning to Pray” flyer.
