The Canon of Western Civilisation has been shaped by many sources over the course of its millennia’s long history. Amongst the most important of these influences is the spread of Christianity from East to West, and the continued role of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Join New Direction on 5th-7th June for Ex Oriente Lux – a special conference in Iași, Romania, looking at the unique place that the Eastern Orthodox Church has played in the making of modern Europe, and how we can better build bridges between the different Christian communities that share our continent.
