Christian leaders in Israel declare that Christian Zionism is putting the church in danger.
Dmitry Zlodorev
Many young Americans are searching for guidance and sanity in an increasingly chaotic world. By God’s grace, they discover the Orthodox Church—a place that is not afraid to speak the truth. And they are drawn to it.
Sergei Mudrov
Orthodoxy is actually one of the three faiths, whose representatives have the right to teach the foundations of their faith at secondary schools.
Hieromonk Chrisostomus (Filipescu)
If he’s fat—he’s a glutton; if he’s thin—a penny pincher.
Bishop Theodosius (Ivashchenko)
At the moment, a man or woman seeking to pray in an Orthodox Church in Ukraine may be violently driven out of it during divine services with batons and tear gas. One risks being beaten, poisoned, or prevented from entering because schismatics seized the church during the night and changed the locks.
Archimandrite Epiphanios (Theodoropoulos)
If the Greeks passed on Christianity to others, they were repaying a debt, not rendering a service—for who first brought Christianity to them? Was it not Paul, a Jew? Why then do we speak only of the service of the Greeks? And finally, if Christianity was written in the Greek language simply because it was widely known, that fact lays upon the Greeks an obligation, not a privilege!
Conrad Franz
In this part of our interview, Conrad Franz talks about his own path to Orthodoxy, Orthodox media, the demographics of the Church in the US, and the conversion blooming deep in the heart of Texas.
Priest Tarasiy Borozenets
Any technology is subject to moral evaluation: does it destroy human dignity, substitute living relations, or infringe on the freedom of the personality?
Metropolitan Saba (Isper)
Today's pastoral reality clearly shows that families are coming to the faith at a rate equal to, if not greater than, that of single men.
Jesse Dominick
The 84-year-old elder, who holds a doctorate in history, receives regular information about the situation in Ukraine through the Union of Orthodox Journalists.
I came to love going to services on this holiday, and then going to visit my closest friends—this tradition appeared by itself.
Very Rev. Fr. Vladimir Vranic
True primacy must be exercised in the spirit of the Eucharist—as service, not control; as love, not jurisdiction.
Abbess Elizabeth (Smelik)
The procession is chiefly dedicated to the estate owners: Empress Consort Maria Alexandrovna, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich and his wife, the holy Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, but many people also walk in the procession with icons of the holy Royal Passion-Bearers Tsar Nicholas II and his family.
Metropolitan Luke (Kovalenko)
The “dogs” are those who, under the pretext of piety and zeal for God, tear apart the Church and lead people away from Christ. They are those who tear, bite, and destroy what belongs to God. Such “dogs” have no love in their hearts—neither for God nor for man.
Fr. Lawrence Farley
Many inquirers into Orthodoxy cannot understand the horror that the early church had of schism nor why modern Orthodox would insist on a convert being chrismated or re-baptized before receiving the Eucharist.
Christina Andresen
We believe that now is the time to send missionaries from among our communities, specifically called to build up the Church where it already is present in the hearts and lives of Orthodox college students, and by doing so, extend the reach of the Church from the parish to the campus.
James George Jatras
Breaking Ukraine’s spiritual ties with Russia is at least as important to breaking of political ties and enlisting Ukraine as part of NATO’s anti-Russian deployment.
Nun Cornelia (Rees), Seraphim Collins, Ph.D.
The world became completely fallen, and God was somewhere else. But in Orthodoxy it’s much more complicated than that.
Savva Tống (Duệ Uyên)
The sad thing here is not that “the Church is not extreme enough for them,” but that their Christian view has moved away from the center of Faith—where the Risen Christ is.
Metropolitan Tikhon (Shevkunov)
In an age of post-truth, relativism, and libertarianism—when reality is constructed by the media and social networks, and conformity has become the norm—truth is drowning in a sea of political correctness. Charlie Kirk dared to go against the current.
