THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK
THIS WEEK’S COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
For the many Orthodox who have non-Orthodox relatives, there can be a lot of delicate situations. Fr. Bill Christ of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Tulsa, OK, helps us navigate the murky waters of staying true to our Faith without confusing or hurting our families. And what will 60 young Orthodox Christian Students be doing this coming summer? Paul Lundberg fills us in on an annual summer program for Orthodox high school Junior and Seniors called 2011 CrossRoads. To learn more about the CrossRoads program, visit www.hchc.edu/hellenic/campus_life/vocation/crossroad.html.

THIS WEEK’S PODCASTS
What is Western Rite Orthodoxy and where did it come from? To learn more please join Fr. Chris and Emmy for this episode of Special Moments in Orthodoxy as they welcome Archpriest Fr. Paul Schneirla, Vicar-General of the Western Rite in the Antiochian Archdiocese and Fr. Michael Keiser, author of "The Children of the Promise: Introduction to Western Rite Orthodoxy" to the program, as they will discuss the differences and similarities between Western Rite Orthodoxy and Eastern Orthodoxy. On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Christopher Stamas, Pastor of Saint George Cathedral in Springfield, Massachusetts Offers his words on the The beginning of the Triodion , having a humble conversation and exchange with God. On Harmony of Thunder, Fr. David Smith explores St. John Chrysostom's first sermon in his series on St. John's gospel. In this sermon, the greatest preacher of Orthodoxy prepares the hearts and minds of his listeners - those who heard him deliver the sermon and those of us today - to receive the message of St. John the Evangelist, and to open ourselves to the gospel's life-changing message.
