The Orthodox Theological Society in America was organized under the auspices of the Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA) to:

  • promote Orthodox theology
  • cultivate fellowship and cooperation among Orthodox Christians
  • coordinate the work of Orthodox theologians in the Americas

The Society is endorsed by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North America, the successor body to SCOBA.

Upcoming Annual Meeting

Sep 19, 2013 to Sep 21, 2013
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
Pittsburgh  Pennsylvania
United States

The next annual meeting of our Society will take place between September 19-21, 2013 at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, PA. While we have not issued an official Call-for-Papers yet, it is quite possible that we will focus our attention on American monasticism. We hope to gather presentations not only on the Orthodox monastic tradition in general, but also specifically on present-day, local monastic challenges and promises, on the role of monasticism in the life of the larger Orthodox Church, and various other topics related to the main theme. In due time you will see the Call-for-Papers with more details, but at this point I hope you will mark your calendar and start thinking of possible contributions to our dialogue.
