Course offering from the Seniors College Association of Nova Scotia (SCANS):
Title: Light from the East: Introducing the Orthodox Church
Instructor: Wendell Eisener
Schedule: 6 week course beginning Monday, February 6th, 10 am – noon
Description: The Orthodox Church (or more properly churches) claims to be the most ancient expression of the Christian faith. What can be learned from a tradition so steeped in tradition—that takes pride in not having substantially changed in a millennium? This six-week course will examine some of the history, liturgy, and basic teachings of Orthodoxy, ending with a discussion of the religious aspects of conflict between Russian and Ukraine.
