Philadelphia Regional Oriental Orthodox Youth Conference: Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Download the Flyer: Philadelphia Regional Oriental Orthodox Conference Flyer

Our fathers, the bishops of the Oriental Orthodox Churches here on the East Coast of the United States write, “We are very eager for our Oriental Orthodox youth to come together to meet, pray, learn from one another and to enjoy Christian fellowship. We are calling on the parish priests and youth leaders of our sister churches to make every effort to organize opportunities to bring our Oriental Orthodox young people together.”

In keeping with this directive, St. Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church, 267 Hartford Road, Medford, NJ (http://www.saintanthonynj.org/Home.html) will be hosting an all-day conference of dialogue, fellowship, and prayer for the high school, college, and college graduate-aged youth from the Eritrean, Armenian, Ethiopian, Coptic, Syrian and Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Churches of the Greater Philadelphia area on Saturday, January 28, 2012.

Due to limitations in space, registration will be limited to the first 275 participants to register.
Registration and participation in the conference will be free, but donations will be accepted and appreciated.

Participants may register online before January 15, 2012 here (http://www.doodle.com/89vd43fkts7t9aay) and after that date by e-mailing the servant in charge of the event at antoniousnikolas@yahoo.com .

College-aged youth from the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Syrian and Malankara Syrian Orthodox Churches will gather on November 26 for an all-day conference of fellowship and discussion. The conference will take place at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church, 433 Riva Avenue, East Brunswick, NJ.

The day will focus on the words of St. Paul to the Ephesians: “There is one body and one spirit, just as your were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.” [Ephesians 4:4-6].

The Oriental Orthodox Churches are a family of five ancient, eastern churches that are fully united in their Christian faith and doctrine. “While autonomous churches with their own rich histories and Christian cultures, the Oriental Orthodox Churches are in full sacramental communion,” said V. Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan, Dean of St. Nersess Armenian Seminary (New York) and Secretary of the Standing Conference of Oriental Orthodox Churches. “We are truly brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ,” he added.

The daylong conference is open to high-school, college and graduate-aged students who are members of one of the Oriental Orthodox Churches. The cost is $10. Those interested are asked to register on-line at www.copticbiblestudy.org. For more information go to facebook.com/orthodoxsn.
