Synaxis is a unique Study group that began at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. Inspired by our spiritual fathers, hierarchs, and professors with a love for our Holy Church's wisdom we desired to become more intimately acquainted with the sacred texts of Christianity. We chose texts that have had a deep and timeless impact on the faith of our Church. As we read, met regularly, and discussed the wisdom of our Fathers and Mothers our small group grew and became a highlight of the week for many of us. Inspired by a professor who joined our group I spent a great deal of time contemplating what was it that made Synaxis unique? How was it different from a regular Bible Study or book club? After several weeks I put together a working manifesto and shared it with the group who responded positively.
I have decided to make Synaxis public with the hope that others will join us as we gather together and I pray that, “As this broken bread was once scattered on the mountains, and after it had been brought together became one, so may thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth unto thy kingdom; for thine is the glory, and the power, through Jesus Christ, for ever.”(Didache of the Twelve Apostles 1st/2nd c.)
