On Sunday 13 April 2014, the Philoptochos of the Greek Orthodox Parish of the Resurrection of Christ, Kogarah, hosted a Palm Sunday Luncheon in order to create awareness of and to support St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College. The Very Revd Archimandrite Sophronios Konidaris, himself a graduate of the College and its chaplain, invited Mr Mario Baghos, Associate Lecturer in Church History, to speak to the parishioners and friends in attendance of his journey through undergraduate studies at the College, his current role as a faculty member, and how these have equipped him for his postgraduate studies as a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney.

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
