St. Peter the Apostle Orthodox Mission will begin, Thursday May 13, to study and discuss the book, The Mountain of Silence by Kyriacos Markides, Professor of Sociology at the University of Maine.  Father Philip Kontos, of St. Peter’s will lead the discussion. 

“Markides’ work is an excellent resource for spiritual seekers of all levels, answering questions about Christianity in general and Eastern monasticism in particular. It will be of special interest to those who may be unaware of Christianity’s deep roots in mysticism.”

                                                                                                                                -Publisher’s Weekly

“Part memoir and part reflection on the modern world’s spiritual malaise, Markides’ book calls attention to the existence of an ancient form of mysticism within the bounds of modern Christianity.”

                                                                                                            -June Sawyers, Booklist Review

“…a remarkable work – a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.”
