 Time: 3.00-6.00 pm

 Location: The Sophia Kyivska National Reserve (Metropolitan's House, 24, Volodymyrska St.).

Organizer: Institute of Ecumenical Studies at the Ukrainian Catholic University (Lviv).

The Ukrainian Christian Academic Society is open to scholars of all Christian traditions represented in Ukraine. The Society is called to reflect on the purpose of the Kyivan Church, an issue that is still poorly understood in Ukraine and the world. The uniqueness of the Kyivan Church means to preserve a living tradition, despite the painful historical circumstances and the confessional divisions of the modern era.

"For this year's seminar, we propose the theme: "The Idea of the Kyivan Church: Vision and Reception" and would like to consider the ecclesiastical and liturgical traditions, historiographical issues and ecumenical perspective of the Kyivan Church," –  says Taras Dmytryk, responsible secretary of the Ukrainian Christian Academic Society.

 We invite You to participate in the discussion during the seminar
