Metropolitan Kallistos's lecture is sponsored by Detroit- based St. Andrew House - Center for Orthodox Christian Studies. "For more than 15 centuries, Orthodox Christians were defined by their faith and worship, following the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,'" said the founder
and president of St. Andrew House, the Most Rev. Nathaniel, Archbishop of Detroit and the Romanian Episcopate of the Orthodox Church in America.
"Yet in America, the Ancient Orthodox Church is seen as an 'ethnic' church, defined more by the nationality of its members rather than the tenets of the One True Faith," Archbishop Nathaniel said. "Metropolitan Kallistos will explore the future of Orthodoxy in American and offer his thoughts on how a united Orthodox Church can prosper and effectively preach the Gospel in today's world."
Metropolitan Kallistos's lecture is open to the public. The attendance fee is $10. For reservations and additional information, contact Dean Calvert at dcalvert@netscape.com or (248) 624 1222.
