Important Conversations About Topics That Matter To Orthodox Christians

  1. 5D AGO

    Does the Church Exist in Two Modes?

    The Orthodox Observer (GOA) published a provocative article noting the polarity between "cradle and convert," "evangelism and ethnicity," positing that this is "a tension as ancient as the Orthodox Church." Father Tom responds from an historical and Biblical perspective.

  2. APR 15

    Canterbury's Collapse

    The Church of England's election of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury has further fractured the Anglican communion. Fr. Thomas gives commentary on the influence of post-modernism within Anglicanism.

  3. APR 7

    Do the Holy Week Hymns Teach PSA?

    In a follow-up to previous episodes on an Orthodox Christian response to Penal Substitutionary Atonement (PSA), Fr Thomas leads us through a deep-dive into the services of Holy Week. Is the Church teaching us that the Father is punishing His Son in the crucifixion?

  4. APR 1

    Defining Mary is Defending Christ

    Father Thomas responds to Samuel Farag's continuing series, "Eastern Orthodoxy: Through the Lens of Scripture," in which he calls the Orthodox Christian teachings regarding Mary "Mariolatry." Are Orthodox Christians guilty of idolizing Mary, as he charges?

  5. MAR 24

    Panic at the Protest

    Social media posts noting the unprecedented number of conversions to Orthodox Christianity are increasing. Far from obscure, marginal voices on YouTube, Protestant thought leaders are speaking out about the trend with alarm. We'll respond to their claims.

  6. MAR 10

    Covering Holy Things

    God commanded that holy objects be covered, acknowledging their holiness and maintaining the mystery revealed. But if the curtain of the temple was torn in two, why do we Orthodox Christians still use a curtain? Why veil sacred objects? And what about head coverings?

  7. MAR 4

    Do you really know Isaiah 53?

    The difference in emphasis between the Hebrew Masoretic text of Isaiah 53 and the Greek Septuagint is significant. Could this be the reason why the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement seems so out of place to Orthodox Christians?

  8. FEB 25

    Euthanasia: The Mercy Trap

    While over 76,000 Canadians used the MAID program (Medical Assistance in Dying) to end their life, Switzerland's Sacro (suicide) Pod is now being designed to hold couples. What is the Orthodox Christian view of medically assisted euthanasia?
