The Monthly Moot

THIS COMING week is a big one.

In addition to celebrating the Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple, Eighth Day Patrons and Pillars will receive the next issue of the Patristic Word , a 14th century homily by St. Gregory Palamas that reflects on this feast of the Virgin Mary's Entrance.

Patrons and Pillars will also receive the inaugural issue of the Monthly Moot . The mission of this new venture is to promote the formation of study groups in which Christians can be "reading and thinking together" for the unity of Christians and the renewal of culture. You can see the cover and table of contents here.

If you are not an Eighth Day member, consider joining the community today so you can take advantage of the growing body of content produced to help you renew our dying culture. If you are a member at the Supporter or Friend level, consider upgrading your membership to the Patron level today. You can learn more about membership and explore the various levels at this link.

Renewing Culture in Christ,
Erin "John" Doom
Founder & Director, Eighth Day Institute

P.S. Sign up as a Patron today and in addition to receiving the Monthly Moot (and more!), you can attend the tenth annual Symposium free! Support cultural renewal by joining the community today!
