Holistic Christian Life - Worshiping God - Mind, Body, Soul


Apr 19, 2022

Cynthia is happy to bring Dr. Timothy Patitsas back onto the podcast to talk about his book The Ethics of Beauty.  When you are affected by trauma, how do you find beauty again?  Many have felt trauma in one way or another during the last couple years of the pandemic, and Dr. Patitsas shares some tools that can help us look at everything that happens in our lives through the lens of our faith.

Timothy Patitsas is the newly-appointed Interim Dean at Hellenic College in Brookline, Massachusetts, the undergraduate counterpart to the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. He concurrently serves as the Assistant Professor of Ethics in the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, a position he has held since the fall of 2005.

His main responsibility outside of teaching has been the organization and guidance of the St. Helen’s Pilgrimage, a five to nine week-long intensive summer study travel of Orthodox spirituality and Modern Greek language conducted annually in Israel, Palestine, Turkey (Constantinople), Mount Athos, and Greece. Together with the Foundation for Hellenic College Holy Cross, Dr. Patitsas has since 2006 built the Pilgrimage into a premier formational experience for M.Div. students at the Seminary. 

Dr. Patitsas has a book available from St. Nicholas Press, The Ethics of Beauty, a 750-page survey of the central role of Beauty in every aspect of the Orthodox approach to life, including war, trauma, psychology, gender, spirituality, bioethics, and social ethics. (see www.stnicholaspress.net

He is also completing documentaries on the life of St. Amphilochios Makris and on Holy Week in Jerusalem with Beauty First Films ( www.beautyfirstfilms.com ), a non-profit film making company which he co-founded. He is the co-author of the Liturgical Seasons Calendar, a powerful aid to prayer and ecclesial self-identity available through Beauty First Films and Ancient Faith.
