This week, Dr Elena Ene-Draghici Vasilescu will speak to us on her paper “Pseudo-Dionysius, a Statue, and a Concept of Beauty”. She is a scholar at the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research, the author of a number of publications in the area of patristics and iconography, and a long-standing friend of our society. She is also Tutor in Theology in the Department of Continuing Education.

Elena’s talk will begin at 7.30pm this Thursday, February 1, in our usual venue, 1 Canterbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6LU – but you are welcome to come along earlier, as we will be there setting up from 7pm or so, and there will probably be a bite to eat and something to drink. No RSVP is required, and please pass on this invitation to any friends you know with an interest in Theology, Late Antique and Byzantine Studies, History of Art, and Eastern Christianity.
