What OAS Members Had to Say

I am writing to thank you for giving me the opportunity to hear the papers that were presented today. It was a joy and a blessing. Each paper was enriching. In particular, I was struck by the second to last paper by Laura. As I listened to her paper, the beautiful lives of Saints Andronicus and Athanasia (f.d. Oct. 9th) came to mind. At a pivotal moment in their lives together, it was Athanasia who took the initiative and Andronicus who submitted to the wisdom of his wife as they worked out their salvation. Once again, thanks to all those who worked to make this event take place.
