Orthodox
Theological Research Forum
Inspiration
from Time: Women’s Ministries in the Orthodox Church
8-10
September 2014
High
Leigh Conference Centre, Lord Street, Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, EN11 8SG
The
Orthodox Theological Research Forum allows, through its conferences, for the
Orthodox theologians from the UK and abroad to discuss the topics of interest
and to publish / publicise their researches. By choosing the topic of women’s
ministries for the year 2014 we a. Open the discussion on the very up-to-date
(if not overdue) subject and b. Allow the best Orthodox scholars, such as
Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, Prof Andrew Louth, Dr Mary Cunningham, Fr Ephrem
Lash and others to contribute to this significant and current subject.
The
second outcome of this conference is to support and highlight the initiative on
women’s ministries in the Orthodox Church. This conference, therefore, will
give a solid academic and ecclesiastical foundation, identifying current
positions on this important topic, not only within the Orthodox Church but also
in relations to other denominations within Christianity, allowing the participants
to get involved in this enterprise. The examination of this theme will,
inevitably, place it within modern Orthodox circles.
The
speakers will include: Metropolitan Kallistos Ware (Oxford), Fr Andrew Louth
(Durham University), Professor Kate Cooper (Manchester University), Fr Eprhem
Lash, Dr Mary Cunningham (Nottingham University), Fr Andreas Andreopoulos
(Winchester University), Fr Kirill Zinkovskiy (Russia), Fr Methodiy Zinkovskiy
(Russia), Ms Zoya Dashevskaya (Dean, St Philaret Institute, Moscow), Ms Lidia
Kroshkina, Dr Jim Nelson (Valparaiso University, USA), Mr Michael Sarni, Justin Meggit (Cambridge), Dr Elena
Vasilescu (Oxford University), Mr Dimitris Salapatas (Winchester University).
