St Andrew’s Patristic Symposium 2014

26-27 September 2014

The symposium primarily explores the connections between the Alexandrian and the Cappadocian traditions in Late Antiquity, more precisely the ways in which the two centres influenced each other. Papers focused on particular figures are likewise welcomed. For the papers focused on particular figures, they can address the life, personality and contributions of the earlier Alexandrines and St Athanasius, the Cappadocians and St Cyril, from various perspectives, such as historical, theological, literary, spiritual etc. Papers on events, persons and writings directly or indirectly related to the above are also welcome. We welcome, likewise, papers on Church Fathers that are not connected with either Alexandria or Cappadocia. Proposals should be submitted to Very Rev. Dr Doru Costache at (dcostache@sagotc.edu.au) by 30 April 2014.

APECSS Newsletter

2003年オクスフォードの 14th ICPS をきっかけにはじまった Western Pacific Rim Patristics Society (WPRPS) は、通例の学会とはことなり、会員同士の個人的なつながりをベースにしていて、翌年2004年から年1回の学会を開くようになったが、会員同士の交流のベースとして e-Newsletter を会員メーリングリスト向けに流す試みもつづけてきた。当初は、オーストラリアの Dr Bronwen Neil が編集を担当していたのだが、この2009年11月から私も編集に加わることになり、年2回の発行を目指すことになった。情報を集めるのに少々手間がかかるとはいえ、重要な媒体として Newsletter 編集に力を注いでいきたいと思う。
