The 5th Annual Climacus Conference was held last weekend in Louisville, KY, organized around the theme of Beauty. I had the honor of giving two talks – one on Orthodox church architecture, and the other on liturgical art. All the talks are available as audio files on Ancient Faith Radio, and I highly recommend them to our readers, as they touch on the themes of art, liturgy, and theosis that are regularly discussed on this journal.

The conference website includes a summary of each talk and a link to the audio. And the talks are also available directly on Ancient Faith Radio.

    Dear Andrew
    Thank you for notifying us of this wonderful conference and that we are able to hear the recorded audio, much appreciated.
    You very correctly make mention in your talk to the fact that the visuals you are presenting, are crucial to the presentation but we only have the audio recording of it. Any chance you might be able to share the visuals with us too so that we can enjoy both audio and visuals simultaneously? Thank you.
    Wishing all a blessed course through Holy Lent.
