Launching this month's theme on morality and popular culture, we'll be looking at the popular Twighlight Saga with Fr. Frank Marangos and asking about the relationship between the Church and secular media trends. Plus, we'll feature an online-exclusive interview with author and artist Michael O'Brien, who shares his thoughts on what the popularity of this series tells us about our contemporary morality.
Stay tuned all month as we continue our exploration of morality and popular culture with topics like graphic video games, sin as an addiction, teen beliefs and the difference between God's morality and mankind's judgement.

On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Carolina joins us again for his sermon entitled “An Unused Gift is a Wasted Gift.” “God has given us a wealth of gifts including the Church. These gifts have a great purpose to help others. If we refuse to use them to glorify God and keep them to ourselves, when He asks us what we have done with those gifts, we might find ourselves burning with torment like the Rich Man after we have been buried.” On OTTO, part two on defining and dealing with Peer Pressure. Join Teens from South Florida as they discuss the difficulties, challenges and understandings of the what and whys of this growing problem. Last week on Harmony of Thunder does something a little different: Fr. David reads the entire sermon of St. Cyril of Jerusalem on the sacrament of chrismation, without comment. Listen to HOT this week to hear this powerful and beautiful description of the mystery of the coming of the Holy Spirit into every believer's life.
