"Orthodoxy in the Home" conference slated for February 2011

Q: What is the goal of this conference?

A: Technology today allows for communication possibilities that were not possible even a short time ago. There are several companies who provide Internet based communication for large groups of people to hold meetings, conferences, and to keep in contact with one another on a regular basis over great distances. This medium allows individuals and large groups to collaborate with one another at a fraction of the cost it would otherwise cost to travel to another state or country.

We have an opportunity to gather Orthodox Christians from across the nation to listen to Orthodox speakers talk about and discuss education within our churches, schools, and homes. A webinar will allow a substantially greater number of parents, teachers, clergy, godparents, and friends to attend this conference versus a physical conference with the obstacles involved with travel and costs.

This conference will provide the opportunity to inform and share with others about some of the educational resources currently available to Orthodox Christians. Our goal is to present some of these resources and ideas to all of you as a catalyst for the further growth and development of your educational programs in your hometown parishes, homes, and schools.
