Met. Neophytos of Morphou: Q & A - Contemporary Kollyvades Fathers

About this sermon

Q & A Session from the “Torches of Truth” Conference by Uncut Mountain Press Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou, Cyprus, known to the entire Orthodox Christian world for his deep spiritual wisdom gathered from his years close to several contemporary saints and long service to the Church as a Shepherd of souls, spoke to Archpriest Peter Heers during the conference on the Kollyvades Fathers and fielded questions from the faithful in attendance. The Conference, “Torches of Truth: the Kollyvades Fathers and Their Successors”, took place from December 5-6, 2024 in Florence, AZ. The conference speakers explored the lives, teachings and times of the Kollyvades Fathers of Mt. Athos and Greece (late 18th and early 19th centuries) and also looked at those who are "followers of the holy fathers" today -- their contemporary successors, including the holy Athonite Elder Ephraim of Philotheou and Arizona. The lectures and Q&A sessions were followed by a round-table discussion. The conference was held on the eve of the Memorial Service for Geronda Ephraim which took place at St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery on December 7th. It was a rare gathering and an exceptional opportunity!
