Summary:
Fr. Brendan McAnerney, OP is a Dominican (Roman Catholic) priest, ordained in the Latin Rite, with faculties requested by His Grace, John Elya, Bishop of Newton, and granted by His Holiness, John Paul II, to serve as a Melkite-Greek Catholic priest. He has been an adjunct faculty member of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT), at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU), Berkeley, California, and is currently in residence at St. George Melkite-Greek Catholic Church in Sacramento, California. He earned a Master of Arts Degree in Theology and the Arts from the Dominican School. As an undergraduate he worked on a BFA at Ohio Wesleyan University, and received a BA in Art History from Boston University. Before entering the Western Dominican Province he did graduate work in art history at BU, worked for a prestigious art gallery in New York City, was the director of a gallery and began his own business as an art dealer in San Francisco. He has painted since childhood, but it was not until he studied icon painting (writing) with the Antiochian (Syrian) Orthodox in Pennsylvania, and later with the Russian Master Iconographer Vladislav Andrejev, that he chose to devote the majority of his artistic efforts to studying and painting in the Byzantine tradition. Fr. Brendan introduces Western Christians to the art, spirituality, history and tradition of "holy iconography" as practiced in the churches of the East. Showing more than 50 images, Fr. Brendan explains how through line and color and a grammar developed over centuries, the mystery of creation transfigured through the God-Man Jesus Christ is made visible as an occasion of intimacy with the Living God... an intimacy that is transformative.
