Vespers at the Clergy Symposium
Bishops and clergy from across the Archdiocese have gathered this week at Antiochian Village for the 17th Biennial Clergy Symposium, a time of reflection, fellowship, and learning. His Eminence Metropolitan Philip and the Antiochian House of Studies are the hosts for a full week of speakers, sessions and events. The Archdiocese is honored also to have in attendance His Eminence Metropolitan Silouan of Argentina.
The theme of this year’s gathering is Ministry to the Youth: “Let no one despise your youth” (1 Timothy 4:14). Highlights include keynote addresses on such topics as “Issues of Spiritual Development and Youth”, “Issues of Sexuality”, and “Issues of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse”; an evening Camp Program presented by Village Camp youth; a grand dinner with Metropolitan Philip; and more.
Ancient Faith Radio will be providing recordings of selected presentations and sessions. See AFR’s special section on the Symposium here.
