The Reverend Dr Andreas Andreopoulos
Andreas Andreopoulos returns to Space in the City a year after giving us a splendid series of talks on Orthodox Christianity. He is Reader in Orthodox Christianity at the University of Winchester and a priest of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain. His research and writings cover the study of the Fathers of the Church, Christian Iconography and Symbolism, the study of Liturgy, and Modern Orthodox Thought. His publications include Metamorphosis: the Transfiguration in Byzantine Theology and Iconography (SVS Press, 2005), Art as Theology: from the Postmodern to the Medieval (Equinox, 2007), This is my Beloved Son: The Transfiguration of Christ (Paraclete, 2012), and Christos Yannaras: Philosophy, Theology, Culture (ed.) (Routledge, 2019). He has been leading the study of Orthodox Theology at Master’s and PhD level at the University of Winchester.

The Reverend Amanda Goulding
Amanda Goulding was ordained in 2007 and has been Assistant Priest in the Winchester city centre benefice of St Bartholomew and St Lawrence with St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate since 2009. She left a teaching career to concentrate on theological studies which initially included training for Lay Ministry. A module on Liturgy in that course encouraged a more creative approach to church buildings and thus was born a practical interest in church architecture and interiors.

Thomas Denny
Thomas Denny was born in London in 1956, and studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art. Since 1984, he has made dozens of windows for churches, mostly in England including Durham, Hereford, Gloucester and Leicester Cathedrals, and a few further afield: St John’s, Tralee (County Kerry) and Trinity Church, New York. He thinks of the demands of the setting, and the peculiarities of the medium of traditional stained glass, as joyful constraints.
