Dear
Friends of St Theosevia,
Welcome to the Trinity Term programme. Thank you for your
support of the excellent programme last term.
This Term we have two study days, both looking in different
ways at the interconnectedness of spirituality with sacred
art, architecture and liturgy. The bring-and-share music
evening extends this theme to the music of the Eucharist.
For the first Study Day, on 8th May, we are once again
delighted to welcome Dr Nicholas Gendle He will show slides
and speak out of his extensive knowledge of the art and
architecture of Ravenna. He will in particular explore their
connections with liturgy, beginning with the liturgy of
Baptism.
On 5th June the Revd Dr Robin Gibbons, a Catholic priest of
the Eastern Rite (Melkite) shares his explorations into the
varied spiritualities expressed in different authorised
liturgies of the Roman Catholic Church. Metropolitan
Kallistos will speak on Orthodox spirituality as expressed in
liturgical worship. The Revd Dr Allan Doig , Chaplain of LMH,
himself a trained architect who has published the first
volume of his history of Liturgy and Architecture, will speak
on the early peripatetic liturgies of Rome, Jerusalem and
Constantinople.
Finally this term Metropolitan Kallistos will host a bring
and share music evening on The Holy Eucharist. We look
forward to seeing you, and encourage you to make this
programme widely known among your friends and to bring them
along.
If you have ideas for future topics or speakers, or would
like to receive extra newsletters or posters, please let us
know.
