The course deepens our understanding of Orthodoxy a little more profoundly than the basic course.

The course offers an opportunity for private discussion with a priest. Instructors: ThD Juha Riikonen and Father Risto Käyhkö. The course receives support from the Orthodox Church of Finland. Special price. No other discounts. The language of instruction is Finnish.

Teacher

Riikonen Juha

I am TT Juha Riikonen, a permanent teacher at Valamo College. I teach theological subjects. My main courses are related to the Orthodox way of life, such as “Get to Know Orthodoxy” and “Should I Become Orthodox?”. I also teach retreat courses. My special expertise lies in church history. By profession, I am also a historian. My doctoral research focused on the canonical, or church administrative, dispute between the Finnish Orthodox Archdiocese and the Moscow Patriarchate in 1945–1957. The topic is very timely again, as the political situation in Europe has escalated with the war in Ukraine. My home region Ilomantsi and Karelian identity are an important part of my identity.

Teacher

Käyhkö Risto

Father Risto Käyhkö is a theologian, teacher, and facilitator of constructive interaction who has studied philosophy. He is particularly moved by the Apostle Paul's thought that one cannot control another person, but one can help them into His joy.
