14-16 June 2007. "Orthodox Readings of Augustine." The First International Conference of the Orthodoxy in America Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the Center for Medieval Studies, Fordham University, at the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University in the Bronx. This conference will bring together prominent Eastern Orthodox theologians and historians to offer their own interpretations of Augustine's place in the Orthodox Church. The conference also includes the perspectives of well-known Roman Catholic and Anglican scholars who are knowledgeable about the reception of Augustine in the East and/or the continued theological dialogue between Eastern and Western Christians. Contact George Demacopoulos (demacopoulos@fordham.edu) or Aristotle Papanikolaou (papanikolaou@fordham.edu; conference website).
I wonder what will be said about Augustine.
I learned of this today, during the Philosophy block party--there is a posting of news, honors, and other such things.
John Manoussakis was appointed by the Ecumenical Patriarchate to the Joint International Commission for the Theological Dialogue between the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox Churches, chaired by Walter Cardinal Kasper and the Metropolitan of Pergamos John Zizioulas. The first meeting of the Commission will take place in Belgrade this September.

Curious--I have heard that he was a monk for a time, and I've seen him serve as a deacon during the Divine Liturgy in honor of St. Nicholas at BC. Still, I believe he collaborated with Richard Kearney; and he was an editor of the BACAP proceedings. So is he a post-modern who happens to be acquainted with Greek philosophy? And what would Orthodox such as those over at Energetic Procession make of him.
