The Orthodox Fellowship of St John the Baptist is organising a summer conference “40 Things you didn’t know about Orthodoxy” from 19th to 21st July 2019 at the Hayes Conference Centre, Hayes Lane, Swanwick, Alfreton, DE55 1AU. The conference is a celebration of Forty Years of OFSJB.  Speakers (Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, Archimandrite Kyril, Deacon Alexander Haig, Sister Magdalen and Dr Elizabeth Theokritoff) will give the reasons behind the original idea for the Fellowship and discuss its development and contribution to Orthodox Christian life in the UK and English-speaking world. More information and the application form can be found at: https://forerunner.org.uk/2019/02/12/events-in-2019/ 

A Study Day Series on Anthropology and Theology entitled “Making/Bringing Theology Personal: An Orthodox Christian Perspective on Sickness and Suffering” will take place on 23rd March 2019 in Oxford (St Theosevia House, 2 Canterbury Rd OX36LU). More information can be found here.
