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.”
