PAST EVENT | 20 February 2018 17:00 - 20 February 2018 18:30
While small in numbers relative to global Christianity, multi-ethnic Eastern Christian communities are amongst the most ancient natives in the Middle East and the wider West Asia region. Four of the five most important hierarchical centres in Christianity are in this region, whose roots go back to two millennia. These lecture seminars are part of the series on Eastern Christianity held in the last four years, which highlight the rich historical, theological, literary and cultural heritage of Eastern family of churches.
This event is part of the Eastern Christianity Historical, Theological and Cultural Heritage Series.
Conveners: Dr Hratch Tchilingirian and Prof Theo Maarten van Lint.
This event will take place on 20th February at 5pm in the Allen and Overy Room, Pembroke College. It is free and open to the public.
