We're still here!
I haven't posted for a while, but here's an update of things going on at Transfiguration College. We've had some marvelously productive curriculum meetings, and have the philosophy and theology courses largely worked out. Graduates of Transfiguration College will be unlike anyone else in the world. I envy them. We are also continuing to pursue bricks and mortar. Things are heating up on that front, and I will let you know as soon as I know anything definite.
Please help us with your prayers. We have been asking anyone who is interested in Transfiguration College to join us in praying and fasting from meat and dairy every Wednesday, in accordance with Byzantine customs.

Hi Tom,
We do intend to be ecumenical, and hope that the Orthodox will attend. The implication of limitation that you infer isn't meant to be in the text. Certainly all are welcome. But we are what we are, and that's Byzantine Catholic.
Hi, I was looking through the reading list, and I was wondering--are the texts listed in print as individual books? Or will they be taken from some larger collection of works (whether they be from the same author or from many)? I'm interested particularly in the writings of St. Maximos, but I have been unable to find anything by him in print.
(Also, does the college have an 'official' position on whether the theology of St. Gregory Palamas and hesychasm are reconcilable with Latin theology?)

According to Gennadios Scholarios, first Patriarch of Constantinople after the Ottoman conquest and an ardent anti-Latin, he saw no conflict or contradiction between St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Gregory Palamas. Scholarios asserted that he was a Thomist and a Palamite. If he can see a reconciliation between the two, perhaps we can too, please God.
