Lenten Retreat
March 4-5, 2022
Thinking Orthodox:
Acquiring the Mind of Christ
with Dr Jeannie Constantinou

How did the early Christian communities function? How did the first Christians know what to believe, or how to behave? St. Paul gives us a hint when he wrote about the apostles saying "We have the mind of Christ." Acquiring the mind of Christ is essential to the correct interpretation of the Scriptures, to our correct behavior, to every aspect of our spiritual lives and our salvation itself. Dr. Jeannie Constantinou will explain why the Orthodox Church is confident that it has the mind of Christ, what that means, and how that is the foundation of everything we do and believe. Join us for a dynamic retreat that will give you a fresh perspective on virtually everything in Orthodox Christianity.

This retreat is $25 per person and open to the public.
Recommended for high school and above, Orthodox or just curious about Orthodoxy.
