WEBCAST - BEGINNING OF GREAT LENT
Adult Catechism Class to resume on Sunday March 6, 2011 at St.Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Ft. Lauderdale Florida followed by the celebration of the Divine Liturgy.  Classes are available on the internet and will be archived.  Study guides for each episode to go along with the class will be available at www.myocn.net the web site of the Orthodox Christian Network as well as the website of St. Demetrios Church at www.stdemetrios.org.
The Class as well as the web cast will reference the book God’s Many-Splendored Image: Theological Anthropology for Christian Formation by Nonna Verna Harrison.
What does it mean to be a human being made in the image of God? This book makes the case that the divine image can be seen in not just one or two aspects of human identity but in all of them. The author, a specialist in early Christianity, reveals the light that leading theologians of the early church shed on contemporary discussions of what it means to be human. Each chapter explores a different facet of the divine image and likeness and maps out a path that can lead toward wholeness and holiness. This fresh approach to theological anthropology brings Greek patristic theology to students in a readable fashion.
Tune in every Sunday via video from St. Demetrios in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Each week we will explore the depths of the Orthodox Faith as we tackle topics of interest for Orthodox Christians and inquires alike.
