Online Lecture by Faculty Member

On 30 April 2023, Dr Andrew Mellas presented an online lecture on the Journey of the Myrrh-Bearing Women to the Holy Tomb to the GO Family & Friends Ministry Fellowship. The lecture explored how the hymns of Byzantium invite us to journey with the myrrh-bearing women to the holy tomb and experience how their grief is transformed into joy. GO Family & Friends is a ministry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia instituted by His Eminence, Archbishop Makarios. Indeed, Archbishop Makarios, the Dean of St Andrew's has given his blessing for the College to collaborate with GO Family & Friends Ministry in 2023 for a series of online fellowship events. The guest speaker from St Andrew's for the next fellowship will be Dr Lydia Gore-Jones who will explore the significance of the Ascension of Christ (date and time TBC).
