Tomorrow I’m heading to Boston as part of my doctoral studies. I’ll be attend a conference entitled, “Sacred Text and Interpretation: Perspectives in Orthodox Biblical Studies” which focuses on Biblical and cultural exegesis from an Eastern perspective. The conference is being held at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.
Other than my brief visits a couple of Orthodox churches and my reading and study of Eastern Christianity I have had little personal knowledge of this tradition. Yet I desire encounter and learning. Its deep practice of attending to the relationality of the Divine, on Mystery and life with the Spirit, its emphasis on incarnational living, and its journeying with spiritual ancestors all woo me.
Peace, dwight
