Oct. 30 Lecture: Christian Tradition in a “Postmodern World”
Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013 7pm
Archpriest John Erickson
Former Dean and Professor
St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary
Location of Public Address:
St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral
4208 Wycliff, Dallas, Texas 75219
stseraphim.org (530 ) 921 1567
About The Presenter:
Fr. John H. Erickson is thePeter N. Gramowich Professor of Church History, Emeritus, and former Dean of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, Crestwood NY, where he taught from 1973 until his retirement to Tucson, Arizona, in 2009.
His publications include The Challenge of Our Past: Essays in Orthodox Church History and Canon Law; The Quest for Unity: Orthodox and Catholics in Dialogue; Orthodox Christians in America: A Brief History; as well as over sixty published articles and book chapters.
Since retiring, Fr. John has kept busy with speaking engagements and with serving assignments throughout the Southwest. As needed, he also gives a 14-unit online course in church history as part of the Diaconal Vocations Program of the Orthodox Church in America.
A Brief Summary of the Evening Presentation:
Cultural historians, social theorists, philosophers, literary critics and many others refer to our world today as “postmodern.” They do so to call attention to a cultural shift that is as far-reaching as it is profound. Much of what the “modern world” took for granted is now being called into question. Suspect, among other things, is the metanarrative, the big story, the “totalizing narrative schema” that claims to present transcendent and universal truth. In this new cultural context, what place is there for the “big story” offered by historic Christianity? What word of hope does Christian Tradition have to offer men and women today, who are skeptical about the claims and promises of the past and at the same time anxious about the future?
A Second Opportunity:
In addition another presentation — a bit less public however — carrying a provocative title, will be offered by Fr. Erickson on Wednesday, October 30 at approximately 12 noon: “Does Christian Marriage Have a Future?” Here Fr. John will explore aspects of marriage that challenge Orthodox Christians each day. Members of the Church are certainly invited, but will be asked to leave afterwards for an informal Q & A between Fr. John and visiting clergy. This talk will be held at the Cathedral as well.
IOCC Fundraising Dinner, October 20, 2013 in Dallas
Please join me at the annual International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC, www.iocc.org) fundraiser dinner on Sunday, October 20th, held this year at:
Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church
13555 Hillcrest Road
Dallas, Texas 75240
For more information, download the Flyer.
This is not a religious event, nor a political one, but an effort for a worthy cause, with high level impact. About 92 cents of every dollar donated to IOCC goes to the actual charitable effort, making IOCC one of the most efficient charities in the USA, much more efficient than many of the more well-known charities. IOCC has been involved in international relief efforts in such places as Syria, Ethiopia, Serbia, Russia, amongst other places in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
IOCC is fortunate such that out of every $1 donated, $7 (not a typo) is generated toward relief efforts, due to existing grant and philanthropic relationships.
We are also trying to set up a silent auction. If you have valuable memorabilia that you wish to donate, please contact me.
If you wish to sponsor a dinner table, or partially underwrite the event, please contact me. Sponsors will be given recognition at the dinner.
If you have ideas for best practices on how to make this event even more successful than last year, please contact Michael Petridis.
We expect our first committee meeting on Wednesday evening, 7pm, October 2nd, at Holy Trinity. Come join us!
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Why not donate $1 to make $7?
Please pass the word.
