Behrakis Family Classical Studies Symposium

Part of the APS program was going over to the Behrakis Family Classical Studies Symposium over in Devlin. There John McKesson Camp II gave a lecture about the excavations of the Athenian agora. The lecture was quite good, and I liked the pictures of Athenian coins, especially the early coins with the image of Athena's owl.

Metropolitan Methodius of the Greek Orthodox Church was present for the lecture. I wasn't sure if the Orthodox bishop I saw was him, but now that I see his photo... I wonder who the other Orthodox bishop(?) was... whoa... maybe it was Archbishop Demetrios himself.

I think Aristotle Papanikolaou was there too, but I've forgotten the name I read on the name tag so I can't say for certain. Was he talking to the rector of Holy Cross Orthodox School of Theology? Anyways, I overheard them talking about David Bradshaw, whom I know for his somewhat polemical writings against Latin theology, both scholastic and that of St. Augustine. Prof. Papanikolaou (?) said that Bradshaw would be publishing a response soon... but a response to what? I wish I could have caught the rest of the conversation. I wouldn't mind spending some time around the Orthodox, even though I wouldn't have much to say to them...
