SUMMARY:Transfiguration of Our Lord – Seminary offices closed
DESCRIPTION:“Remember Me in Your Kingdom\,  O Lord”: Rethinking Liturgical Commemoration in the Byzantine Rite of Proskomide				\n				\n				\n				\n					The B.C.S.

Muksuris’ presentation will explore the liturgical commemoration of names in the holy prothesis from historical\, theological\, ecclesiological\, and liturgiological perspectives. While the practice of commemoration in Orthodox Liturgy today typically excludes non-Orthodox Christians\, Fr. Stel will challenge us to rethink the Church’s boundaries of grace and to envision the completed proskomide as the future kingdom of all believers in Christ.
