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.
