The Friends of Mount Athos is
organising a Residential Conference entitled: ‘Mount Athos and Russia 1016-2016’
at Madingley Hall Cambridge (England). This will take place between 3 and 5
February 2017. Russians have existed on Mount Athos since 1016. This event will
be commemorated in Greece and elsewhere, due to its importance.
According to Dr Graham Speake,
Friends of Mount Athos Chairman, ‘some of the most celebrated names in the
history of Russian spirituality have been Athonites. Russians have contributed
generously to the spiritual and cultural traditions of the Mountain, just as
Greek Athonites continue to have a significant impact on the spiritual life of
the Russian Orthodox Church.’[1]
Distinguished speakers from Finland, Russia, Ukraine and the UK will present
papers on a number of topics on Russians and Mount Athos.
For more information
