Bridging East and West: An Exploration of the Eastern Catholic Tradition

Thursdays, 10-12 noon, Newman Siena Centre (Clune Lecture Theatre). In his Encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Pope Saint John Paul II stated that “the Church must breathe with its two lungs” – its Eastern one and its Western one. He was especially encouraging Western Catholics to learn about and come to appreciate the Eastern tradition and the rich heritage of the Eastern Catholic Churches. Who are the Eastern Catholics? Where did their Churches originate, and how does their worship differ from the Roman Catholic Church? Melkite Priest Fr Elias Kilzi will guide participants in a four-week exploration of the Eastern tradition, including an explanation of how certain Eastern traditions can act as “bridges” between East and West. Cost $30 Presenter: Fr Elias Kilzi. Further info or to register, visit http://cfe.org.au/courses-and-events/, email cfe@perthcatholic.org.au, or 08 9241 5221.
