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.”
We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
