Last week we held an event in partnership with the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge, UK, where a group of panelists from Evangelical, Orthodox and Catholic traditions discussed Mary Bearer of Life with the author, Bishop Christopher Cocksworth, who is now the Dean of Windsor.

We appreciate all those who spoke for a stimulating and challenging discussion. There is much that can be fruitfully explored in this area between the traditions.

The video of the discussion can be viewed on the IOCS YouTube channel at this link
