"Aleksei Khomiakov (1804-1860): Poet, Philosopher, Theologian"
An accomplished poet and all-around Renaissance man, Aleksei Khomiakov was also Russia's first secular theologian. The influence of his classic essay
"The Church Is One" and its central concept of sobornost' continues to be
felt in contemporary Orthodox, and even Catholic, ecclesiology.
Khomiakov's polemical writings in French and correspondence with Anglican churchman William Palmer remain important documents of Orthodox relations with the Western churches. This scholarly conference will be devoted to an examination and evaluation of Khomiakov's legacy in all his major fields of endeavor.
Responding to broad interest in contemporary studies of Orthodox culture
and civilization, Holy Trinity Seminary regularly sponsors in-depth colloquia on issues devoted to major figures and events within Russian religious culture, with the participation of leading specialists from around the world.
