About the Speakers:

 

Fr. Joseph Huneycutt is a convert to Orthodox Christianity, and served missions in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia before being assigned Associate pastor to St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Houston in 2005. He received a BS in Communication Arts from Appalachian State University (1982), his MDiv from Nashotah House Seminary (1992) and a DMin from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in conjunction with the Antiochian House of Studies in 1999. He is author of, “One Flew Over the Onion Dome”, “Defeating Sin: Overcoming Our Passions and Changing Forever”, and most recently, “We Came, We Saw, We Converted – The Lighter Side of Orthodoxy in America”.  In addition to his pastoral duties, Fr. Joseph also maintains a blog, "ORTHODIXIE…Southern, Orthodox, Convert, Etc."

 

Mr. John Lickwar is an internationally renowned iconographer and popular spokesperson on the technology and Orthodox Christian understanding of the Icon. After completing his education at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, where he studied Liturgical Art under the Very Rev. Nicholas Ozolin, John continued technical training in iconography in Finland. He has produced icons for 25 years, and addressed churches, college and high school students.

 

Fr. John Whiteford was raised in an Evangelical Protestant family and graduated from Southern Nazarene University in 1990. He converted to the Orthodox Christian faith later that same year after an intense personal study of the faith of the early Church. He was ordained a deacon in 1995, and a priest in 2001.  He is currently the Rector of St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas.  He has published an essay on the Orthodox view of Scripture and Tradition (Sola Scriptura: An Orthodox Analysis of the Cornerstone of Reformation Theology (Conciliar Press, 1996)) which has been translated into 8 languages.
