Galadza named to theological consultation body

OTTAWA - The executive committee of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops recently appointed the Rev. Peter Galadza member of the North American Orthodox/Roman Catholic Theological Consultation. He is the first Ukrainian Catholic to join the ecumenical body in its 33-year history, and one of only two Canadian members. The consultation meets twice annually and regularly issues statements and position papers on matters pertaining to Orthodox/Catholic rapprochement.

The Rev. Galadza was also recently appointed convenor of the newly created Eastern Liturgies Study Group of Societas Liturgica, the first person to hold this new position. Societas Liturgica is an academic association of liturgists founded in the 1960s with almost 500 members from around the world, representing all of the major Christian denominations. The first session of the study group was held in Turku, Finland, last year, and this year it will meet in Keralla, India.

The Rev. Galadza is Kule Family Professor of Eastern Liturgy at the Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies in the Faculty of Theology, St. Paul University, Ottawa, and a member of the School of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Ottawa. He also serves as the editor of the Sheptytsky Institute's academic review Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies.
