Orthodox Music Conference

Our Faculty Member, Dr Andrew Mellas, recently presented a paper at the 10th International Society of Orthodox Church Music (ISOCM) Conference in Finland. In keeping with the theme of the 10th ISOCM Conference, ‘Church Music, Food and Nourishment’, Dr Mellas explored the portrayal of heavenly nourishment in the hymns of St Romanos the Melodist. In his hymn on the five loaves and the feeding of the five thousand, Romanos evokes a fascinating image of the loaves ‘giving birth’ and multiplying, interpreting the miracle as a eucharistic event and an invitation to the heavenly banquet of eternity.

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
