Saint Nektarios: For Mind and Heart

Description: Father John will be reading For Mind and Heart: St. Nektarios as Teacher. We often focus on St. Nektarios’ role as a Wonderworker and overlook his calling as a teacher of the Church. This book allows us to delve in to some of the topics which St. Nektarios addressed as a teacher. Father John will lead a discussion of the various chapters, such as “Motherhood and the Raising of Children”, “The Calling of Youth in Society,” “On Exercise,” “Concerning Greek Philosophy as a Guide Leading to Christianity,” and “The Necessary Attributes of a Spiritual Shepherd”.

This discussion group will feature a guest appearance by His Eminence, Metropolitan Moses of  Toronto!
