Eastern Catholic Bishops Plan Encounter
2012 The original concept is to hold a week-end (Friday-Sunday)
"Encounter" in three geographic areas of
the country with sizeable populations of
various Eastern Catholics: for the East
Coast, the New York/New Jersey area; in
Cleveland (to serve Detroit, Chicago and
Pittsburgh areas); and a West Coast site
in Southern California. The planning process
has a target date of late summer, early
fall, 2012 for the three "Encounter" sites. Read

St Basil Perhaps the most famous of the Capadocian Fathers is
Basil
and the two Gregories, Nyssa & Nazianzus. These
fathers managed to combine the direct exegesis of
scripture of the Antiochian/Alexandrian schools with
the concentration on the spiritual life from the
desert fathers. Basil would write a series of
treatises on the ascetic life and found a monastic
way of life.

Iconography An
important aspect of Eastern Christianities
proclamation
of the Gospel is found in its reliance
on icons. Icons are not mere pictures, but
indispensable articles in the Church's life. In the
East the goal of sacred art is more complex than
simple representation. Icons of Christ, for example,
attempt to bring out the divine nature.
