INDEX OF TALKS

Having been asked by many who attend the Saturday Liturgy in English for a Bible Study Class in English, Fr. Christopher Klitou began a Discussion/Talk group in January 2007 with meetings held every Thursday evening. The meetings are held in the Church's Sunday Schoolhouse and begin with a prayer and hymn followed by the talk, then questions and answers with a open discussion, giving the opportunity to all to express their own thoughts. The following are the texts on the talks given to date but without the questions and answers that followed.
