The Commission on Missions and Evangelism announces the third annual Evangelism School to be held from August 7 to August 9 at St. Gregory, the Theologian Orthodox Church in Wappingers Falls, NY. The school is fully funded by the Diocese and there is no cost to the participants. This year the School will focus on parish revitalization. The School combines case studies, practical instruction and roundtable discussions. Each Deanery is asked to provide one clergy and one layperson to participate (preferably from the same parish). All materials will be provided.

This year's speakers include Mitred Archpriest Joseph Lickwar, chancellor of the Diocese, Archpriest Thomas Soroka, rector of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in McKees Rock, PA, Archpriest David Garretson of Ss Peter and Paul Orthodox Church in South River, NJ, and Archpriest Eric G. Tosi, rector of St. Gregory Orthodox Church in Wappingers Falls, NY and Director of the Commission.

If you are interested in attending the School, contact your local dean. Names must be submitted by the end of June. The prospectus of the school can be found in the link.
