Catholic Orthodox Initiative
|
In 2017, the Aquinas Center began a Catholic-Orthodox Initiative, thanks to an endowment by Solon and Marianna Patterson. This Initiative consists of a series of programs and events promoting greater understanding and cooperation between the Orthodox and Catholic churches. We are focused on communion between Catholics and Orthodox, and the commonality of our faiths, rather than our differences in this endeavor.
Programming includes joint local Church and parish education, a Catholic-Orthodox lecture at Emory University, and the development of joint Orthodox and Catholic student activities at Emory University. We also assist the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta in promoting their annual event, the Catholic-Orthodox Ecumenical Gathering. Please also check our Facebook page, for more information on future Catholic-Orthodox programming. |

Resources for Catholic and Orthodox Students
The Aquinas Center has hosted several gatherings for Catholics and Orthodox students at Emory University. As we assist in growing both student groups, we plan to host joint events for these groups.
The Aquinas Center has hosted four Orthodox student gathering in the past year. In the coming year in conjunction with the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation, we are hoping to build a community of Orthodox and Catholic students that will foster unity, both during their university days and into the future.
You are welcome to join in our free events! Feel free to reach out alice.cameron@emory.edu if you are interested.
