Holy Transfiguration Monastery site of monastic superiors’ annual SynaxisĮllwood City, PA 2016 OCA Monastic Synaxis Photo by Ralph H.
The superiors, led by His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon, and Archbishop Nathaniel, had numerous excellent questions and insights, all of which further improve the Thebaid Project, and help it support monastic life even more than before.īased on conversations and personal invitations from several of the superiors, I sensed a real interest in the Project, and I very much look forward to visiting the many monasteries in the OCA. I was deeply honored to be invited to speak about the North American Thebaid Project at the OCA’s recent Monastic Synaxis.
