Residential Formation Program

On Friday, 9 August 2024 the Very Rev. Fr Miltiades Chryssavgis, former Chancellor of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese and parish priest of St George Church, Rose Bay, addressed the students as part of their ongoing Formation program. Fr Miltiades reflected on his sixty-seven year priesthood by outlining the vision and priorities that enlivened and drove his ministry. Illustrating his points with moving personal anecdotes and recounting his meetings with some of the foremost ecclesiastical and academic figures of the twentieth century, Fr Miltiades both inspired and motivated his audience to reflect upon the sacredness and potential inherent in the ministry of a parish priest.

 

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.
