This week on Come Receive the Light, Fr. Timothy Chrapko, associate pastor at St. Volodymyr's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Alberta, Canada, is here to talk with us about the sacrament of Baptism. Learn more about the history of this ancient rite and how it fits into our daily spiritual walk. Also on the program is Eva Kokinos, who's the director of youth ministries for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Detroit. She and Fr. Chris talk about internet resources and safety, since not everything on the web is as enriching as OCN's website!
This week on Harmony of Thunder: The Eucharistic passage of St. Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians (11:23-26) is the starting point for St. Cyril of Jerusalem's fifth sermon in his series called Mystagogical Catechesis, teachings given to new converts to the Christian faith in Jerusalem in the middle of the fourth century. St. Cyril wants his hearers - and us - to remember that the Eucharist is indeed the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. You don't want to miss this important message, which is so central to our faith.
This week on The Chanter’s Stand, Archbishop Demetrios describes the characteristics of Byzantine music that acts as a background to project the theological text of the hymns.
