Learn MoreThis is a 12 day summer mission practicum and pilgrimage to Albania. We will learn about the work and writings of the greatest Orthodox missionary in our generation, Archbishop Anastasios Yannoulatos of Albania. We will learn about the resurrection of the Church of Albania over the past 30 years after the most harrowing years of communism, during which Albania was the only country in the world to forbid any religion for 24 years. We will examine and analyze how the church has succeeded in living out the missiology of the Archbishop. The trip will be part class, part pilgrimage, and part mission outreach. We will visit with Archbishop Anastasios and some of the other metropolitans of Albania to listen to their vision and understanding of missions. We will meet with the OCMC missionaries working in Albania, some of whom have been working there for the past 20 years. We will also interact with many Albanian coworkers who are involved in the everyday ministry of the church. We will also visit holy sites and see the relics of St Kosmas Aitolos, St John Vladimir, and other saints. A highlight of the trip will be a 12 mile pilgrimage we make with Metropolitan John of Korca. The trip will include some outreach and ministry to the youth, college students and young adults. We will expect some of our students to offer talks and lead discussions with a translator. The cost of this trip is $1000 which will include the air fare and all expenses in Albania. Students can apply for a scholarship which can help reduce the cost possibly by $500. Our trip will be May 22-June 2.
