Session 17 – “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem” (Reader Zachary Armstrong)
One of the greatest struggles facing Orthodox Christians today is in understanding how the Church and the World relate, and how we are meant to live as Orthodox Christians in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to (especially traditional) Christianity. In this session, we will be looking at how the Church has related to the world both when society at large has been Christian, as well as in societies hostile to Christianity. We will especially seek to understand how science and faith can interrelate and complement each other. Finally, we will explore the ways in which we can be a “light on a hill,” sharing our Christian faith with others in both words and especially deeds.
