Friday, October 15, 7:00pm (NorthWest Baptist Auditorium, Trinity Western University)

General address to TWU faculty, students, and general public

Fr. Thomas Hopko, a popular speaker and leading Christian theologian, is the Dean Emeritus of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, NY. A leading figure in Orthodox-Evangelical dialogue for the past thirty years, and a long-standing member of the World Council of Churches’ Faith and Order Commission, one of Fr. Thomas’ most important accomplishments was his service as chairman of the Faith and Order Commission Steering Group from 1985-1991. This group prepared the Faith and Order Report on reactions to the Lima document, which included the official responses of about 185 Christian churches to one of the most important documents to come out of the WCC: Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry (BEM). As a speaker, Fr. Thomas has a particular gift for drawing upon his vast knowledge of Christian life, history, and doctrine and synthesizing it in addresses which inspire in both popular and academic audiences a sense of and a zeal for the inexhaustible depths and riches of “the faith, once for all delivered to the saints.”
A consummate author and scholar, Fr. Thomas holds a B.A. in Russian Studies from Fordham University, a M.Div. from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, a M.A. in Philosophy from Duquesne University, and a Ph.D. in Theology from Fordham University. His numerous articles, essays, and books include a series on The Orthodox Faith (which has recently been made available online at OCA.org) and books and articles on important contemporary issues such as Women and the Priesthood. Audio and video cassette tapes of his lectures are available from SVS Press. A more complete list of Fr. Thomas’ books, articles, essays, and audio- and video-tapes is available on the St. Vladimir's Seminary web-site. Fr. Thomas will be speaking in various venues here in British Columbia this coming October, including an IVCF gathering at the University of Victoria, and the Paradosis Group at Trinity Western University.
