The two lectures and special patristic seminar, sponsored by the Virginia H. Farah Foundation (www.farahfoundation.org ), and organized by the Volos Academy for Theological Studies, were warmly received May 15-18 in Volos and Athens.
 Fr. Andrew Louth studied mathematics and theology at the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh, and his dissertation concerned the theology of Karl Barth. Over the years, he taught patristic theology and history at the University of Durham, patristic thought at Oxford, and Byzantine and early medieval history at Goldsmiths College, University of London. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies at the University of Durham, while continuing to teach as a Visiting Professor of Eastern Orthodox theology at Vrije University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). He serves as a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church at the University of Durham, and is also editor of the journal Sobornost, as well as a member of the editorial board of other international English language journals. His research interests are primarily the history of theology in the Greek patristic tradition from the fifth century until the fall of the Byzantine Empire, as well as the theological thought of Romanian and Russian theologians in the 19th and 20th century. He has authored numerous books and articles on patristic thought, such as The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys (Oxford: 2007), Greek East And Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071 (St Vladimir’s Seminary Press: 2007), Maximus the Confessor (Routledge: 1996), St John Damascene: Tradition and Originality in Byzantine Theology (Oxford: 2005), Denys the Areopagite (Continuum: 2002).
 In the inaugural Virginia H. Farah Foundation Lecture, which was delivered twice (Volos, May 15, Cultural Center of the Holy Metropolis of Demetrias, and Athens, May 16, at the Kostis Palamas Building of the University of Athens), Fr. Louth attempted to formulate some thoughts on the meaning of ecclesiastical tradition, the relationship and the distinction between the Fathers and Tradition, as well as the role of patristic thought in modern Orthodox theology. Starting from Florovsky and Lossky, he then moved to a historical overview of how the concept of Church tradition was shaped over the centuries, highlighting the key role played by western academia both in the resurgence of interest in the thought of the Fathers, and in the publishing of critical editions of their work. In this context, Fr. Louth wondered what affect the decisive contribution of non-Orthodox academic research may have on what is known as “the mind of the Fathers,” while also highlighting the importance, for the Orthodox perspective, of the liturgical experience.
After both lectures (the first of which, in Volos, was attended by His Eminence Metropolitan Ignatius), the speaker engaged

Finally, in his remarks, the Director of the Academy for Theological Studies, Dr. Pantelis Kalaitzidis, outlined the main stages of the life and multifaceted career of this prominent contemporary Greek thinker.
