The primary focus will be an ecumenically sensitive study of the Greek patristic tradition broadly understood, together with the Syrian, Coptic, Armenian, Latin, and other ancient Christian traditions.  Special attention will be paid to the way in which, characteristic of Orthodox theology, patristic theology is integral to all of Christian theology. The institute sponsors two annual conferences and a week-long summer program in patristic studies. Dr. Bruce Beck is the Director of the Institute.
