A lot of Christians get very upset about "Happy Holidays" replacing "Merry Christmas" and nativity scenes being replaced by scenes of snowmen and Santa Clause. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Is it maybe an opportunity? Hear what Fr. John McGuckin has to say! And do you feel deafened by the noises of the holiday season? Norris Chumley shares what he's learned from monastics around the world and the writings of the Church Fathers about the importance of silence in our lives.
On Theologically Thinking, listen in to this seasonal OCN Classic about the life of Saint Nicholas whose name-day we celebrate on December 6. On Special Moment of Orthodoxy, our own Daniel Miles speaks with Dr. Gayle E. Woloschak a professor of radiation oncology, radiology and cell and molecular biology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Dr. Woloschak and Daniel talk about her scientific work and the present day ethical challenges facing the church as it relates to the scientific and medical developments related to conception.

With OCN's assistance, your parish can have its own radio station. OCN will create your radio station, maintain it on our server, provide you with some existing programming and give you training in how to manage your station and develop your own programming. According to statistics, Christian media now reaches more people than churches do. It is important today for every church to have a media witness in order to reach the people in its local community.
