Orthodox Academy Of Crete

More

The Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC) is located in Crete city of Greece. It is an ecclesiastical Foundation exercising the dialogical witnessing and the liturgical diaconia of Orthodoxy in the world that is passing and the world that is coming. The OAC is a non-profit Institution, observing its canonical reference to its appropriate Holy Metropolis of Kisamos and Selinon, and operating under the spiritual auspices of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. With the organization of conferences and a variety of other activities, the OAC encourages mutual understanding and solidarity on an inter-Orthodox, ecumenical, interfaith, intercultural and interscientific level, for the reconciliation of peoples, the consolidation of peace, and for human progress. Even though most of the conferences are organized by the OAC, we accept cooperation with other institutions and organizations that want to use our facilities and broad experience, and who seek a tranquil atmosphere for creative work and fellowship. Since the beginning of its operation in 1968 until the end of 2001, the OAC has organised or hosted 1,677 conferences, 52% of which are on an international level. In addition to the conferences, programs and other activities, the OAC welcomes many visitors from Greece and abroad (individuals and groups). We recommend to those interested that they inform us in advance for such visits if a tour of the facilities and briefing is preferred.
