    The Missions Institute of Orthodoxy Christianity’s "Speaking to Secular America" Conference was held at Hellenic College Holy Cross on October 28-30, 2015. Its aim was to explore how the Church is reaching out to the non-religious in our society in 21st century America.
    The Missions Institute of Orthodox Christianity at Hellenic College Holy Cross promotes a vibrant mission consciousness, especially within our Orthodox Christian Theological Schools and Seminaries in the United States. Its primary focus is to instill an understanding of international cross-cultural missionary work. The Institute engenders a missions consciousness for the local setting through understanding evangelism and promoting participation and support for international and domestic cross-cultural missions.

      Both of my ears were insensible to the meaning of his words and vainly did I attempt to explain their beauty to the unconscious organs of hearing.
      Great talk. I love Fr. Stephen.

    Fr. Bless: Finally, a Christian who does not arrogantly believe that we should spread our American form of Christianity to the rest of the world. On the contrary, we are the greatest mission field. Agreed!

    I've never really had my western ideas challenged in this way. This lecture has given me lots to think about! Love from an Anglican. :)

    ‘You are material’ (1:10.00 approx) - hearing that said has just finally enabled me to accept Spinoza’s description of ‘the mind as the idea of the body’. I’ve been struggling with this for a long time and hearing you describe the visceral corporeal relationship and connection with sacred ritual (Holy Water, Bread & Wine, Icon .... etc) just made a shift in my awareness. I can’t necessarily say I ‘understand’ as in defend it in an intellectual discussion, but there was a blockage in my awareness and receptivity which has now gone. I have no ‘idea’ what that means, but I sense a very different quality of awareness - sense that is, not ‘think’ and if feels like a huge relief and something quite natural. I had a secular upbringing.

    isn't it Ironic that all surveys conducted show that Religious people are the happiest people and Atheists tell us the goal of life is to be happy?

      Why do you not think that this man is being grafted into the Body of Christ?

      @sams.4388 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      My comment is a way of asking why you say that this man, this priest, "is not a Christian." Why is this man "not a Christian?"

      Are you directing this comment to me or to truthaboveagenda?
