A reflection by Fr Lawrence Farley.

On 30 September 2016, on the Feast of St Gregory the Illuminator, His Eminence Archbishop Irénée served the inaugural Divine Liturgy at the newly constructed Holy Transfiguration Hermitage situated near Lone Butte BC.

After more than a millennium since the last Ecumenical Council, and 50 years of planning, 2016 was marked by an historic ecclesial event with the gathering in council of the Primates of most of the local autocephalous (self-governed) Orthodox Churches in Chania, Crete.

This council and the documents it produced are the subject of a special series of adult education presentations at The Sign of the Theotokos Orthodox Church between September 2016 and May 2017.
