About MNBLS

MNBLS is a ministry of St. Elizabeth Orthodox Mission,  established in 2003 in cooperation with Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic clergy and scholars. Its mission is to educate, inspire and challenge participants to recognize the centrality of sound biblical interpretation for life in Christ.

Each year, MNBLS sponsors two main lectures:

  • Winter Session, on the second weekend in November
  • Spring Session, on the first weekend after Pascha (Orthodox Easter)

MNBLS also hosts programs throughout the year, geared toward the serious discussion of biblical themes. For more information, please email info@mnbls.org or contact Fr. Marc Boulos (651) 784-7830.
