Some highlights and photos from remarkable conference I attended recently in Greece. The feast of theology, prayer, personal encounter & spiritual dialogue requires much time to digest and contemplate. In second photo “IOTA Chairs & Leaders” you may be able to spot me in the second row near the middle. — Fr. Harry
IOTA’s second mega-conference brought together a historic number of over 400 scholars and clergy from over 43 countries. Over 330 presentations were delivered at nearly 100 sessions. Twelve hierarchs from eight local Orthodox Churches, including Coptic Orthodox, were in attendance. 80% of participants were Orthodox Christians, 8% Catholics, 8% Protestants (including Anglicans), and 4% other.
The IOTA Board wishes to thank the Volos Academy for Theological Studies and the IOTA Group chairs for the successful organization of the conference. Thanks be to God!
