A distinguished panel of speakers and a knowledgeable moderator will delve into the rich history of the Church in Constantinople. From its era of grandeur to its period of captivity and into modern times, we will explore the present-day Ecumenical Patriarchate. Engage in enlightening discussions about the pursuit of religious freedom, human rights, the significant role of the United States as a leading Eparchy, and the involvement in Ecumenical Global Initiatives.
The esteemed guest speakers will include Rev. Protopresbyter Peter Delvizis, the presiding priest at Holy Trinity, and the Honorable B. Theodore Bozonelis, National Vice Commander of the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. After the symposium, we invite you to join us for a delightful post-event fellowship, where you can continue engaging in conversations on topics of particular interest.
Celia Kapsomera, Chair of the Cultural Committee, expressed, “Few institutions hold such a significant and enduring position in world history as the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. This presentation will provide a remarkable opportunity to learn about its mission and its unwavering commitment to the expansion and defense of Christianity from its inception to the present day.”
The symposium will be followed by a post-event fellowship, allowing further connections and conversations among participants.
