Orthodoxy and Mission in State Capitol

We have a table display in the Wisconsin State Capitol building through Friday, December 10, 2010. The two themes of our display are "Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission" on the left (white background) and "What is Orthodox Christianity?" on the right (dark background).  Literature and icon cards are made available to anyone along with information on Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the faith and the practice as well as our current chapel schedule.  Teresa Kochamma re-furbished an older display of Orthodox Churches in Wisconsin that was used in previous years.  This installation is part of Interfaith Awareness Week in Wisconsin and is part of the displays of world religions in the Capitol for the week. There is another group's display next to Holy Transfiguration's. All around the rotunda, around the "Holiday Tree" that graces the capitol every year, are other religious group displays as well. At noon on Friday, December 10, 2010, there will be an event there and Fr John Brian is introducing the key note speaker, Dr Charles Cohen, director of the Lubar Institute for the Study of Abrahamic Religions.
