His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon to present at the OCA Office of Pastoral Life’s December 2024 Synaxis Clergy Online Event
The Office of Pastoral Life is honored to announce that His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon will deliver a presentation titled A Balanced Approach to Fasting for Clergy at the December 2024 Synaxis Clergy Online Conference on Tuesday, December 17, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM ET.
The Zoom online conference room will open for an optional, informal fellowship time from 1:30-2:00 PM ET prior to His Beatitude’s presentation. After the keynote presentation, registered participants will be divided into small groups of clergy and sent into breakout rooms to further discuss the topic as it relates to them. The breakout session will last 80 minutes, with a facilitator in each breakout room, and is based on the Peer Learning model, where the interaction and relationship of the participants form a community of learning focused on pastoral ministry.
