About Orientale Lumen Conferences
Orientale Lumen Conferences are held each year in the US and other countries. In 2004, the first OL Conference was held in Istanbul (Constantinople), and was attended by theologians and lay people from 15 countries, representing many parts of the Catholic Church.
Eastern Christian Publications and the Society of Saint John Chrysostom regularly sponsor ecumenical conferences for lay men, lay women, religious and clergy entitled Orientale Lumen that focus on the dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Open to the public, these conferences provide an opportunity for Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholics to gather, discuss and learn about their respective traditions. They include presentations by scholars and theologians, liturgical celebrations of many varieties, and opportunities for everyone to learn from each other and participate in a "dialogue of love and understanding."
