The Orthodox Theological Society in America will hold its 2013 annual meeting between September 19-21, at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, PA. You are invited to propose individual papers or panel discussions on American Monasticism: Promises and Challenges. We hope to gather presentations on various topics related to our theme, including (but not limited to) the following: the Orthodox monastic tradition in general; challenges and promises that monasticism faces today in America; the role of monasticism in the life of American Orthodoxy; the relationship between the monastery, the parish, and the diocese; monasticism and episcopacy; monastic charisms; and monastic spiritual counseling for married couples. While most papers should deal with the announced theme, proposals on any topic related to Orthodox theological thought would be considered.

Please submit your proposal by July 1, 2013, at secretary@otsamerica.org.
