Please join us in the Bluegrass State on September 12th for our next annual conference,
this year at
Rough River Dam State Park in charming Falls of Rough, Kentucky.

The all-day event will feature engaging speakers from varied jurisdictions, a catered cookout-style lunch, and Q&As sprinkled throughout, concluding that evening with onsite Vespers.


✢ Although the conference “officially” closes on Saturday, we hope one and all will stay for Divine Liturgy, which will also be held onsite Sunday morning in the Falls of Rough Conference Center in Rough River Dam State Park.

✢ Our gathering is about serving the Church’s evangelistic mission by promoting the enculturation of the Orthodox faith into the South’s unique ethos and “older religiousness.” Moreover, it’s an opportunity for folks to learn, discuss and dialog, break bread, connect with new friends and reconnect with old, and commune with our brethren from around the Southern and beyond, as well as for non-Orthodox to inquire about the Faith. If “Heaven must be a Kentucky kind of place,” as Daniel Boone is purported to have said, we figure our aims are pretty fittin’!

✢ Confirmed speakers thus far are Drs. David Bradshaw and L. Daniel Cantey, Jr. (Pachomius), and Deacon Theron Mathis. Details on other confirmed speakers, their presentation topics, Saturday’s full itinerary, an optional group outing on Friday, and lodging and camping details coming soon.

✢ In the meantime, you can go ahead and register to reserve your spot and secure our discounted pricing. “Early bird” is $65 and is good through August 2. Admission will increase to $75 on August 3.
