For those of you in the Pittsburgh/Youngstown/Cleveland area: the Society of St. John Chrysostom is sponsoring a lecture on the Coptic Church in Egypt by Youssef Ragheb, an MD who teaches Egyptian Arabic at the University of Pittsburgh. The lecture will be held on Tuesday, July 10th at 7 p.m. at St. Mary and St. John the Beloved Coptic Orthodox Convent, 8640 Squires Lane, Warren, Ohio, 44484.
For more information, see the May/June issue of the Society’s newsletter.
The SSJC is, according to their website , “an ecumenical group of clergy and lay people organized for the purpose of promoting an understanding of Eastern Christianity . . . . Offering a unique opportunity for laypersons and clergy to meet, discuss topics of mutual interest, and learn from each other’s traditions.” The fellowship sponsors the annual Orientale Lumen conferences which “provide a ‘grass roots’ approach to ecumenical dialogue between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches.”

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
