The Pope and the East

This month you will have two opportunities to hear me speak on Orthodoxy and the Roman Papacy: Ut Unum Sint and the Prospects of East-West Unity (University of Notre Dame Press, 2011).

First up is the annual Orientale Lumen conference, this year in its fifteenth year. The theme this year is "Rome and the Communion of Churches: Bishop, Patriarch, or Pope?" I will be speaking on my book, but don't come only for me. Come to hear such impressive and venerable figures as Metropolitan Kallistos Ware and Archimandrite Robert Taft. Further details of other speakers, the schedule, and registration information, may be found here.

If you can't make it to Washington, the day after that conference ends I will be in the Youngstown, Ohio area (in Boardman, OH) speaking at the local chapter of the Society of St. John Chrysostom. Further details may be found here by clicking on the May/June 2011 link.

In addition to both of these, I will be in Ottawa in July at the annual Sheptytsky Institute Study Days, where I will also be lecturing.

And if you would wish me to come speak elsewhere on the book or other topics, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
