Despina Prassas, M. Div., Ph.D.Topics: Familiar Faces | Prassas, D.
This biography was published in the St. Nina Quarterly, Volume 1, No. 1.
Despina Denise PrassasDespina is the daughter of a Greek Orthodox priest and presbytera, both of whom felt that the education of their five daughters was one of their most important responsibilities. Her parents' emphasis on education, combined with her own formative spiritual experience in her parish and, especially at Ionian Village in Greece, led Despina to pursue a theological education. She has recently completed the courses for a doctorate in historical theology at the Catholic University of America, and received a Master's of Divinity from Holy Cross School of Theology. She has represented the Orthodox at several World Council of Churches conferences during the past four years, and, during this same time, has been active in working on the Apostolic Faith Study Guide and has presented papers at an international conference of Orthodox women. Her interest in ecumenism stems from her belief that we in the United States are blessed to have the opportunity to show others how different religions can coexist peacefully. print page | Submitted by admin on Fri, 16/09/2005 - 11:18pm.
