Readers in the New York area may want to know about two major lectures being offered by St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, the first coming up in just three weeks.
At 7:30 on the evening of Friday, September 21st, Father John Behr will deliver the seminary’s annual Florovsky lecture, with the title Reading the Fathers Today . Father Behr, dean of the seminary and author of a new translation of St. Athanasius’ On the Incarnation , is giving the lecture as part of the annual meeting of the Orthodox Theological Society .
On January 18th, the very distinguished historian Peter Brown will deliver the Alexander Schemann lecture, with the title Constantine, Eusebius, and the Future of Christianity . The lecture begins the seminary’s celebration of its 75th anniversary.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
