Goals

The Institute aims to provide a forum for the study and research of Orthodox thought and practice as well as to promote Orthodox scholarship in fields of academic interest and with respect to issues of our time.

Through its work, this pan-Orthodox Institute aims to be a witness to Orthodox Christianity by advancing appreciation and awareness of Orthodox scholarship.

The Institute is working to realize these goals through a variety of programs, which include:

  • regular meetings with academic and research presentations for Institute members;
  • an Internet forum for communication among members;
  • public lectures, workshops, and symposia in the greater Chicago area; and
  • classes that complement existing parish adult education programs.

In the future, the Institute hopes to sponsor a biennial scholarly conference and establish an online journal.
