From Fr Andrew:
"It is my joy to advise that the 2023 Orthodox Evangelism Symposium, held with the blessing of Bp George, will be held on Friday, 26 May, in Brisbane.

This Symposium features formal educationals on parish hospitality, enculturation, parish management & development, and pastoring converts. This will provide us with the extraordinary opportunity to explore how our parishes are able to share our faith with the people around us, welcome them when they arrive, and bring them into our community.

We have three options for registration:
1️⃣ - All-Day (from 9:30am);
2️⃣ - Half-Day (from 2pm); and,
3️⃣ - Evening-Only (from 5 or 6pm).
Each of these options conclude with the Symposium Dinner.

We especially welcome the registrations of all - both clergy and laity - who wish to share our Faith with the people around us, to welcome them when they arrive, and to graft them into our community."

If this Symposium is of interest to you:
