On January 9th Archimandrite Robert F. Taft, SJ celebrated his 77th birthday. May God grant him abundant blessings in the coming year.
Father Taft is the reason I am interested in the Eastern Churches and the study of the sacred Liturgy. He’s a former professor of mine and continues to be a friend.
BTW, he’s delivering the Schmemann Lecture at Saint Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary on January 30th at 7:30 pm. For more info see the website.
