You may be familiar with the YouTube sensation “Coffee with Sister Vassa” but now is your opportunity to have a real cup of coffee with her. You will also learn from two of the most eminent Orthodox Theologians in the UK, Metropolitan Kallistos Ware and Father Andrew Louth of Durham University. This time on a weightier theme.
The Women’s Ministries Initiative is hosting its second study day, looking at themes of Personhood, the Individual, Solitude and Loneliness.
