About this sermon
Dr. Alice-Mary Talbot presented the 4th annual Father John Meyendorff Memorial Lecture at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary on Friday, September 15, 2017. Her presentation, titled, Varieties of Monastic Experience in Byzantium, 800–1453, opened a window into Byzantine monasticism that revealed a culture as rich and diverse as the personalities of the monks and nuns who embraced it. She highlighted the many ways one could be a Byzantine monk or nun, and the continuous tensions in Byzantium between the eremitic (solitary living) and coenobitic (community living) forms of monasticism.
