Registration is now open for our upcoming enrichment course:

Cosmic Transformation in an Age of Paradise
Start Date: Tuesday, March 3 at 8:00 PM EST
Instructor: Fr. John Strickland

Join us for a five–week historical and theological journey into the first millennium of Christian civilization. Drawing from his book The Age of Paradise: Christendom from Pentecost to the First Millennium, Fr. John Strickland explores how the Incarnation reshaped not only individual souls but the entire cosmos, giving rise to a culture rooted in paradise itself.

Together, we will examine how Orthodox Christianity inspired a vision of the world transformed by Christ’s presence, shaping art, politics, worship, and daily life across both East and West during Christianity’s first thousand years.
