I highly, highly, (did I mention highly?) encourage anyone able to hear +Kallistos to do so. Hearing him and speaking to him in person was an incredible experience, and his “Orthodox Way” is certainly one of my ten favorite all-time books.

Thanks! I think i will try to go to the Bethesda one.

Diak, have you ever read his “Inner Kingdom”? I think I enjoyed that even more than “Orthodox Way” (if that’s even possible). We have a video series called “Mystical Theology” that serves as a wonderful accompaniment to “Inner Kingdom.”

I’m very much looking forward to his visit, especially since I’m probably going to be spending a lot of one-on-one time with him!
