Forum Hour in the Parish House
|
|
This Sunday, we'll look at the teachings of Evagrius Ponticus (346-399), a Christian monk and ascetic from present day Turkey. One of the most influential theologians in the late fourth-century church, he was well known as a thinker, polished speaker and gifted writer.
Ponticus addressed a central question: What sort of state does the mind need so that it can reach out to its Lord without turning back and commune with him without intermediary? Join us this Sunday as we explore the path that Evagrius provides for us so that we might reach out to God in prayer. As he says, "If you are a theologian, you will pray truly; and if you pray truly, you will be a theologian." Click here to join forum via Zoom. |
