On Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th of October, Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville, NY will hold an academic symposium “Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow (1865-1925): His Life and Times.” The symposium celebrates the 150th anniversary since the birth and the 90th anniversary since the repose of the Holy Hierarch Tikhon (Bellavin), the first Patriarch of All Russia since the restoration of the Patriarchate in 1917, who also served as a missionary bishop in North America from 1898-1907, and became a confessor of Orthodoxy during the time of the Bolshevik persecutions.

Dr. Scott M. Kenworthy, Associate Professor of Comparative Religion at Miami University (Oxford, OH) will deliver the keynote address on Friday, October 9. Other speakers include: His Eminence, Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen), Dr. David Ford (St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary, South Canaan, PA), Archpriest Gregory Joyce (Chicago Pastoral School, ROCOR), Dr. Sergei Firsov (St. Petersburg, Russia), Dr. Andrey Kostryukov (Moscow, Russia), Matthew Namee (The Society for Orthodox Christian History in the Americas), Dr. Alexander Gavrilin (Riga, Latvia), and others.
