Talk by Senior Lecturer Dr Andrew Mellas

On 25 February, Dr Andrew Mellas, Senior Lecturer in Liturgics and Church History, presented a talk on the Parable of Prodigal Son, ‘The Tears of the Prodigal’, at the Church of the Resurrection, Kogarah, as part of its Journey to Pascha series. Dr Mellas explored how the parable of the prodigal son comes to life in the liturgical world of the Triodion where the prodigal son becomes an icon of repentance, inviting the faithful to make the voice of the prodigal their own voice, so that the repentance of the prodigal son becomes our own journey of salvation.
