Theological Foundations of Leadership - Very Rev. Thomas Hopko at HCHC
2014-06-26 13:30 - 14:30 | Hellenic College Holy Cross – Brookline MA, 50 Goddard Ave, Brookline, MA, 02445, United States
In our day and age, reading books about how to be more effective leaders in the workplace is common practice. When reflecting on contemporary leadership theories, an Orthodox Christian may recognize some overlaps with fundamental tenets of our faith. What does the Orthodox tradition have to teach us about leadership, broadly speaking, for all people in the Church? What does it mean to be leaders in the workplace and people of Orthodox Christian faith?
Fr. Tom is a renowned Orthodox theologian and Dean Emeritus of St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary. He travels very little now in his retirement, but makes the trip to Hellenic College Holy Cross every summer to serve as a professor at the CrossRoad Summer Institute. During his upcoming visit, he will give a public address on “The Theological Foundations of Leadership,” as part of an ongoing initiative for Emerging Leaders sponsored by a Leadership 100 grant to the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston.
The lecture is free and open to the wider Orthodox community. Conversations and refreshments to follow. Please RSVP at the registration link below:
