This past June, on the very last day of its 2011 term, the US Supreme Court ruled that minors have a right to purchase video games that include graphic violence. Fr. Demetrios Tonias shares his thoughts on what this means for youth and parents. But first, do you feel the holiday blues starting to creep up on you? Dr. Randa Anderson, a licensed clinical psychologist and practicing Orthodox Christian, offers some tips for staying merry right on through Christmas!
Stay tuned this month as we continue to explore the relationship between popular culture and morality.

On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence, South Caroline “offers his sermon on “The Healing Touch of God.” Ever since the creation of humanity by God, we have held a special relationship with our Creator. God granted us His touch when He created us in the Garden and He has given us His touch when He left the Church to continue His ministry on Earth. With God's healing touch miracles happen. This week on Harmony of Thunder: The Eucharistic passage of St. Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians (11:23-26) is the starting point for St. Cyril of Jerusalem's fifth sermon in his series called Mystagogical Catechesis, teachings given to new converts to the Christian faith in Jerusalem in the middle of the fourth century. St. Cyril wants his hearers - and us - to remember that the Eucharist is indeed the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. You don't want to miss this important message, which is so central to our faith.
