Schmemann Lecture Podcast on Ancient Faith Radio: “The Meaning of ‘Icon’ in the Orthodox Church,” by Metropolitan Hilarion
February 5, 2011 • Deborah (Malacky) Belonick
Metropolitan Hilarion speaks about the role of the icon at the 28th annual Schmemann
Metropolitan Hilarion presented Dean Fr. John Behr (far left)and Chancellor Fr. Chad Hatfield with an exquisite icon of the Theotokos and Child.
Metropolitan Hilarion’s inspiring and informative presentation touched upon the dogmatic, anthropological, ascetic, cosmic, liturgical, evangelical, and moral function of icons within the Orthodox Christian tradition. The attentive and appreciative audience readily peppered His Eminence with questions following his talk and gave him a standing ovation at the close.
Metropolitan Hilarion, who is Chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Affairs, is associated with St. Vladimir’s Seminary through both personal and organizational ties. In introducing His Eminence, our seminary Dean, Archpriest John Behr, recalled their friendship that began at Oxford University, where they both earned doctoral degrees, and he expressed his gratitude for His Eminence’s service on the seminary’s Board of Trustees.
