THIS WEEK FROM THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN NETWORK
COME RECEIVE THE LIGHT - THE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED RADIO PROGRAM OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY
Most of our listeners would probably identify themselves as Orthodox Christians, but what does that really mean? Fr. Brendan Pelphrey, head priest of St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Shreveport, Louisiana, weighs in on what some of the qualifying characteristics should be. But first, infidelity is an increasing reality in our world. Dr. Albert Rossi shares some practical advice for everyone on healing the relationship, rebuilding trust and emerging closer than you’d ever imagined.

OCN PODCASTS
On Special Moment of Orthodoxy, FR. Barnabas Powell speaks to us about religious amnesia and his journey to orthodoxy. On Theologically Thinking, a constant contributor to OCN David Ford discusses Marriage through the writings of St. John Chryssostom's high and exhalted view of this blessed sacrament. On OCN NOW, we will discuss Sheptytsky Institute Study Days – An Eastern Christian Feast for the Mind and Heart – to be held this summer from July 15-18, 2011 at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. This is the fourth consecutive year that our Institute will be reaching out to the wider community of Eastern and Western Christians in offering an academic and spiritual conference to enlighten their faith. The unique theme this year – True/False? Right/Wrong? The Challenge of Relativism Today.
