THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK

COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
A lot of people pick and choose religious ideas, accepting only the ones that "feel right" to them. Frederica Mathewes-Green is back on the program to talk about the pitfalls of limiting God by what we think is right. Plus, can a person be saved even after they have passed away? Fr. Tim Chrapko lays out both sides of the argument on this divisive and provocative topic. He recommends  Metropolitan Kallistos Ware's book called The Inner Kingdom for further study.
