Dean's Forum on Zoom

  • Cathedral of All Saints 62 South Swan Street Albany, NY, 12210 (map)

The Dean's Forum starts again on Tuesday, February 9 at 7:00 pm. There will be a series of seven sessions, ending on March 23. We will read Christ and Crisis, by Charles Malik, with the Dean providing his notes for discussion.

Charles Malik was an Orthodox layman, sought after ecumenical speaker and Lebanese diplomat who helped author the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

This is a short, profound and easy-to-read book that touches powerfully on our current challenging realities. The book is available from Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.

From the book jacket:
Charles Malik’s Christ and Crisis is an invaluable guide for Christians who seek to engage our world and come to terms with the challenges unique to the era they find themselves in. Each life, each unique historical situation presents its own crisis or set of crises. Today, we read of financial crises, the environmental crisis, the crisis of radical Islam, cultural crises, political crises, crises of identity, and many more. What Malik would tell us is that these are all spiritual crises, first and foremost. Thus, in this uniquely accessible and ecumenically sensitive book, Malik puts all of these concerns before the most profound crisis of all: the state of our own hearts before the cross of Jesus Christ, offering readers a helpful way of truly understanding the crises of our world today.
The Dean will prepare excerpts and reading notes from the book and offer some observations with time for questions and answers.
