What Makes Something Orthodox?

Is defining something as properly Orthodox Christian or not mostly a matter of looking something up? Is it about what arises inside or outside the Church? What is the role of the saints and Church authority in this in question? Whose opinion counts?
In this video, I talk about not accepting quick and easy answers but rather taking the time to think through things, to go deep into Orthodox tradition, experiencing it and growing in it so that we can see clearly what expresses Orthodoxy or is compatible with it and what is not.

The Untold Story of Early Christian Women - with Presbytera Dr. Anysia Metrakos

มุมมอง 7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน

What exactly is the traditional role of women in the Orthodox Church? This question can be controversial, and attempts to answer it by referencing early Christianity are often short on solid scholarship in service to the Church. The subject of deaconesses is a significant lightning rod for this issue at the moment. Presbytera Dr. Anysia Metrakos joins me to discuss this question, which is her a...

The Orthodox Convert Surge - Hard Facts

มุมมอง 18K3 หลายเดือนก่อน

In a previous video, I discussed a pile of anecdotal evidence that there is an Orthodox convert surge. But is it real? Does it show up in real data? And is it true that there is a big spike in young men converting? Does the form of reception (baptism vs. chrismation only) make a difference in long-term engagement? Matthew Namee, Executive Director of the Orthodox Studies Institute, discusses a ...

How Do I Re-Enchant My Life? An Orthodox Christian Answer

มุมมอง 8K4 หลายเดือนก่อน

We feel that we live in a flat, disenchanted world, where the unseen spiritual reality left long ago. How did we get there? And what if we could re-enchant our world? How would we go about doing that? In this video, I discuss the problem of dis-enchantment, what its primary causes are in our day-to-day lives, what the goal of Orthodox Christian re-enchantment actually is, and I give a lot of pr...

During my pilgrimage in Wales, I met the remarkable Tad (Father) Deiniol, pastor of All Saints of Wales Orthodox Church in Blaenau Ffestiniog and the only Welsh-speaking Orthodox priest in the country. During our interview, he told me the story of how he became an Orthodox Christian and also many details of Orthodox saints of Wales, particularly in North Wales, where he serves. And of course he...

"In hills or valleys / Or out on the deserts of the sea, / From Christ there is no escaping." So says an early Welsh Christian poem. Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Anglican communion, sits down with Fr. Andrew at Ss. Theodore and Teilo Orthodox Church in Cardiff, Wales, to discuss his 60-year relationship with the Orthodox Church, including major figures such as...

What is Faith? An Orthodox Answer

มุมมอง 7K5 หลายเดือนก่อน

What actually is faith? Does it mean believing in something you have no evidence for? How is the word used in the Bible? What is the relationship between faith and belief? Do you have to do anything to have faith as a Christian? In this video, I give some straight talk based on Scripture from an Orthodox Christian point of view. I also mention this video about worship: th-cam.com/video/1IN5Wx2j...
