Why Christians Must Acquire the Soul of a Poet

On Thursday, December 17 at 7 pm, Michael will deliver a Zoom class to the St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral Community and any others who wish to join. St. Porphyrios wrote, “Whoever wants to become a Christian must first become a poet.” Most of us are not poets so do this preclude us from being true Christians? Michael will explore God’s poetic and artistic nature and how to understand and connect to Him through the divine language of symbol, beauty, and our own personal artistry even while living in a culture dominated by utilitarianism and reductionism. The class will run from 7 pm to 8 pm and anyone can join through Zoom at 210-068-7480; password 208156.
