On Monday, 10 March, our parish hosted a Clergy Retreat for Cleveland-area clergy. The guest speaker for the retreat was Rev. Dr. Bogdan Bucur. Fr. Bogdan gave reflections on the texts of our Holy Week services.
 
The Rev. Dr. Bogdan Bucur teaches in the Department of Theology at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh. He works on New Testament and early Christianity with special interest in the link between Scriptural exegesis and doctrinal developments and also on the relationship between doctrine and spirituality in the early Church and the Byzantine tradition. A native of Romania, he is currently pastor of St Anthony Antiochian Orthodox Church in Butler, PA.
