Our gatherings have included the Ninth Liturgical Hour, the singing of the troparion and kontakion for feast days, Gospel readings, silent meditation, and open discussion.
The Divine Liturgy
The Divine Liturgy is the central Eucharistic worship of Byzantine Christians. The Liturgies of Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Basil the Great express the prayer of the Church in the Byzantine tradition.
Prayer with Scripture
Our reflections have explored passages including the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24), “Come and see” (John 1:35–51), the call of the first disciples (Mark 1:14–20), and Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus (John 3:1–21).
Feasts and seasons
The Transfiguration, the Dormition of the Theotokos, and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross are among the feasts we have reflected upon as a community.
