The Macarian Homilies are among the greatest treasures of the Orthodox Church. Issuing from Syria in the late Fourth Century, these texts testify to a spiritual life and mystical vision of the highest order – full of fire, light, love, and hope. It is a vision which remains as fresh, vital, and accessible today as it was 1600 years ago.

The Homilies have had a decisive impact on the Orthodox Christian tradition, helping shape the life and thought of such great saints and theologians as St Maximos the Confessor, St Gregory Palamas, and St Silouan the Athonite.

This weekend course offers an initiation into and exploration of this enthralling and engaging spiritual treasure.
