Annual Conferences
At the heart of our mission to engage Orthodox scholarship and theology with pressing issues in the modern world is the annual day-long gathering which ISEC hosts in early December bringing together scholars from various disciplines to focus on a dedicated theme. Proceedings from these conferences--under the earlier auspices of the Sophia Institute and continuing now under ISEC--have been published and made widely available as well as translated into several languages.
