Hall of Men
A local fellowship hall where the men break bread, tap the keg, and toast their heroes.
On the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, men gather at The Ladder to engage in a vigorous, non-“lowest-common-denominator” type of ecumenism among the three Great Christian Traditions. We aren’t afraid to put on our theological boxing gloves to spar for a minute, and to take them off for a shared pint the next. If you haven’t seen a Catholic listen to the life story of John Wesley; if you haven’t watched a Protestant learn about Evagrius of Pontus; and if you haven’t seen Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant men sit around a table together and talk theology until midnight . . . then you need to come to the Hall of Men.

There is in every generation a cloud of witnesses to the Mysteries of the Kingdom. Our predicament is in that we do not know them, nor do we care for them and for their witness. We are overtaken by worldly cares. The stories of saints are timely reminders for our generation of that only "good thing," which is never taken away. They are also an invitation to the pilgrimage of faith and hope.
~Fr. Georges Florovsky
