The Metropolitan talks on orthodoxy and spiritual healing
September 21, 2007
Two orthodox priests visited the campus last week as part of the lecture delivered by Hierotheos S. Vlachos, the Metropolitan of Nafpaktos, a ruling Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The Metropolitan delivered a talk last Tuesday on the “Orthodoxy as a Method of Spiritual Healing,” in the Regency Room of University Center.
Walking with the Metropolitan (pictured right) is Father Tryphon Parsons, the abbot of All-Merciful Savior Russian Orthodox Monastery on Vashon Island.
In his writing and talks, the Metropolitan has concluded that contemporary human beings seek and are essentially in need of a cure for the soul. To address this need, the Metropolitan explained in his talk last week that orthodoxy, as it exists within the framework of the Orthodox Church, emerges as a theological science of healing because of its aim to guide the lost soul to God.
