BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, OH [DOM] – Archangel Michael Church, Broadview Heights, OH, held its annual Fr. Vladimir Memorial Lecture, on Tuesday, September 17th. His Eminence Archbishop Michael of New York and the Diocese of New York and New Jersey was the guest speaker and presented a talk entitled, “The Road to Nicaea: Factors Leading to the Convening of the First Ecumenical Council.” His Eminence discussed how Christ is revealed to us through His Holy Church, the Scriptures, the Sacraments, and by Holy Tradition. He then went on to categorize misinterpretations which led to heretical concepts and divisions that rocked the Church, as well as its need to come together in unity to unify and codify our Christology into the Creed.
Over sixty persons participated in this unique and “interactive” event. Following the lecture, an impromptu, but impassioned plea was made to collect donations for one of Archbishop Michael’s parishes, St. Olympia Orthodox Church in Norwood, NY, which suffered severe storm and flood damage during the last hurricane. $768 was collected and presented to the Archbishop.
