Semester 1, 2012

This semester we will be meeting about twice a month in the Holme Building. These are opportunities for us to discuss pressing issues of our faith and spiritual worldview with a number of expert guest speakers. There will also be a number of social events during the semester - we will let you know about these via email.

Fr Gerasimos Koutsouras will lead us in a Small Prayer Service to bless the beginning of semester, followed by a General Meeting.

28th March, 6pm. Bodhan-Bolinsky Room.
Fr Nicholas Stavropoulos will speak to us about the Holy Spirit.

23rd April, 6pm. Reading Room.
Demetrios Stavropoulos will speak to us on the Architecture of the Church, and in particular, how this symbolism was used in the building of Pantanassa Monastery.

7th May, 6pm. Reading Room.
Fr Dr Dimitri Kokkinos will speak to us about Bioethics.

28th May, 6pm. Reading Room.
Fr John El-Karaan will speak to us on the Old Testament and Christianity.




As of Saturday 3rd March, these rooms are still subject to change. Emails will be sent out a week before each meeting with all the relevant details. We are very blessed to have these speakers with us this semester, and we greatly look forward to these talks.

O-Week 2012

Our execs were braving the elements this week at the University of Sydney 2012 O-Week festivities! Our stall was creaking under the weight of the icons, books and candles. We were happy to see everyone who stopped by this week, both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Thankfully the rain didn't keep everyone indoors this week!

For those who were unable to come past our stall, feel free to message us your details on facebook and we will be sure to let you know our meeting times.

Our first meeting is coming right up, on Monday the 5th March at 5.30pm. We will open with a small prayer service to bless the endeavours of our society and members this semester, followed by a brief General Meeting to elect some new executives for this year. Our schedule of talks and social meetings will be posted shortly.

We look forward to meeting you on Monday. May God bless us for the beginning of semester,
SUOF execs
