About this sermon

The first panel Q & A session from the “Torches of Truth” Conference by Uncut Mountain Press 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!
