2009-10 Public Lecture Series I: McAnerney on Iconography
Brendan McAnerney, O.P.
Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, Graduate Theological Union
"Holy Icons - Holy Churches"
Minor Hall / University of Virginia WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMEBER 30, 2009, 7:00-8:30pm
"In the study of revealed truth East and West have used different methods and approaches in understanding and confessing divine things. It is hardly surprising, then, if sometimes one tradition has come nearer to a full appreciation of some aspects of a mystery of revelation than the other, or has expressed them better. In such cases, these various theological formulations are often to be considered complementary rather than conflicting" (Second Vatican Ecumencal Council)*.
Fr. Brendan McAnerney, O.P.--a Dominican priest with additional priestly faculties in the Melkite Greek Catholic Church --visited the University of Virginia on September 30-October 1, 2009. Trained as an artist and art historian in the Byzantine tradition, with a deep reservoir of experiences as a Dominican, former gallery employee and director, and in his present position leading DominICON Ministry in Sacramento, Fr. Brendan exposed his UVA audiences to the theology, history, grammar and techniques that comprise the holy art of icons, from its origins in the Eastern Roman Empire through its development in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Icons, Fr. Brendan made clear, are not created by artists as immediate forms of self-expression or commodities for self-promotion.
