Session 19 – The Trinitarian Mode of Life (Subdeacon Nicholas Kocyan)
In today’s modern age, it has become a habit to use the terms ‘person’ and ‘individual’ as though they were synonyms, often using them indifferently to express the same thing, however, these two terms have opposite meaning. What this session will explore is the difference between these two terms, and how the goal of our life is a mode of existence and a reflection of the inner life of the Trinity. A relationship and communion, not only with God, but also with our neighbour, that calls us to transcend our human nature as we to strive towards personhood through and in Jesus Christ.
