Fort Lauderdale - The Orthodox Christian Network (www.myocn.net) launched its multi-author blog entitled The Sounding on February 21st at www.soundingblog.com. The  blog, which takes its name from the nautical process of measuring the depths of surrounding waters, encourages readers to encounter and explore the world around them through the lens that the Church offers all of us. The blog is organized around five main areas of discussion:
Pop Culture- His Grace Bishop Savas of Troas
Orthodox Home and Family-Sylvia Leontaritis
Youth/Young Adult Ministry- Fr. Stavros Akrotiriankis
Orthodox Basics- Fr. Ernesto Obregòn
Missions - James Hargrave
Fr.  Chris Metropulos, Executive Director of OCN, describes The Sounding as "a buoy in the sea of life that allows us to find our direction. OCN now has over 1 Million people yearly listening to our various affiliates to learn and grow in Christ.  This blog is an aid to navigation that emits a distinctive call, the joy of the Gospel which enlightens our way through the troubled and challenging waters of life.  It is a life raft to those who are searching to find a secure vessel of faith."
The Orthodox Christian Network has been an official agency of SCOBA since 2003 and looks forward to working within the context of the new Episcopal Assembly. Commissioned by our hierarchs to create a national, sustainable and effective media witness for Orthodox Christianity throughout North America OCN produces the only nationally syndicated Orthodox Christian radio broadcast, as well as several other outreach programs, including DVDs and Internet-based media, in direct collaboration with sister SCOBA agencies (e.g. IOCC, OCMC, OCF, OCPM), as well as with various Orthodox Christian jurisdictions and pan-Orthodox, para-church organizations. Our goal is to engage the broader culture of North America with Orthodox Christianity's rich theological, spiritual and moral heritage, and to thereby strengthen the Orthodox Church's witness and contribution to the culture in which we live.
