Wethersfield Institute Lecture: Theology of the Byzantine Tradition as Experience in Liturgical Worship

The venerable patrimony of Byzantine Rite Catholics is well known in America, mostly for its emphasis on beauty and the “smells and bells” of liturgical worship. This lecture will delve deeper into the beauty of the depths of the Byzantine theological, liturgical, spiritual, and ascetical tradition, as presented in its Divine Liturgies, the Liturgy of the Hours, and throughout the celebrations of the liturgical year, in its contemporary Greek and Slavic expressions, going back to its roots in Jerusalem and Constantinople.
