Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Liturgy of St James

Our Faculty Member, Dr Andrew Mellas, was recently invited to present a paper at an Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Liturgy of St James at the University of Regensburg (6–10 June 2022). Dr Mellas' paper explored the relationships between liturgy, hymnography and the mystagogical catecheses of the Hagiopolite world, and how these modalities became a mystagogy where heaven and earth converged in the midst of sacred spaces, but also in the hearts of the faithful. More broadly, symposium presentations investigated the origins, contexts and reception of the liturgy attributed to "the Brother of the Lord".
