Metropolitan Kallistos is coming to town

Posted By Eric Sammons On January 26, 2010 @ 6:00 am In Eastern Christianity | Comments Disabled

Probably no man has done more to introduce the spiritual patrimony of the East to Western Christians than Metropolitan Kallistos Ware. Like many others, my first introduction to the Orthodox Church was his “The Orthodox Church [1]” which along with “The Orthodox Way [2]” are classics on Eastern Christianity.

I was therefore very excited to find out that Metropolitan Kallistos will be in the United States next month [3], and not only that, but in my backyard:
