John Klentos, Associate Professor of Orthodox Studies,
recently participated in the Second Meeting of the Guerrand Hermes Forum for
Interreligious Study of the Mystical and Spiritual Life held in Marrakech,
Morocco. The conference was focused on two areas: "Entering the Spiritual
Life" and "Spiritual Life and Daily Life." Representing the
Orthodox Christian tradition, Dr. Klentos entered into dialogue with other
scholars and practitioners from Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Islamic, and Sikh
backgrounds. Discussion was lively and quickly led to consideration of the
relationships between modern technology and living the spiritual life as well
as the unique and incontrovertible truths that each religious tradition
confesses. Further information about the conference is available at
