Are the Old and New Testaments in conflict? How do Orthodox Christians respond to matters of bioethics in a secular age? What is the future of Orthodox evangelism? Ask a scholar! Tackle these questions and others on a variety of topics during St. Vladimir's Education Day Online, a seven-hour “Zoomathon” where you get to participate and pose questions to Seminary professors and guest scholars.

The St. Vladimir’s Education Day Online—in celebration of the Feast of Holy Great Prince Vladimir—is Saturday, July 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT (7 a.m. to 2 p.m. PDT). Participate in discussions and win prizes. Join the Zoomathon when a topic that interests you is scheduled, or join several discussions throughout the day. It's up to you when you join and for how long. (See the complete schedule below.)
