 From the desk of Father Chris Metropulos, Executive Director of the Orthodox Christian Network
Dear Blessed people of God,
We are in the throws of the last few weeks of school for millions of young people throughout the world. I for one will be happy to take a break from making the daily lunches for our kids...Yes, my wife passed this blessed task to me about ten years ago. But making sandwiches is really only a very small part of what I do as a Dad and Father. In fact my children call me Father Squared. Not because I am a square...ha ha but because I serve as their father and a spiritual father to thousands of folks in our parish. I believe it is a blessing from God to be a parent. Parenting is one of the most important roles any person can play so we decided to enlist the help of our staff and some fine minds and hearts around the world to offer their advice on this sacred topic.
Our CRTL theme for May is Parenting. I don't know about you but I never took a course in parenting either in high school or college but I did learn a great deal from my parents and I must confess I am learning about it every day as I watch our six children and now two grandchildren grow and mature.

Click on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxgy_83gyt4) to view this month’s promotional video. Dr. Mamalakis reflects on the connection between the Divine Liturgy and our everyday parenting goals, like getting kids to bed on time. But first, we’ll hear from Chris Hillman, who has recorded such famous hits as “Turn, Turn, Turn” and “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Hillman shares about his journey to Orthodoxy and his presentation at an upcoming event to benefit IOCC in Washington DC on May 8, 2012.

From the desk of Father Chris Metropulos, Executive Director of the Orthodox Christian Network
Dear Blessed people of God,
During the month of April, when the Christian world will celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord, or Easter as it known in the USA, the OCN will release a series of programs on miracles. Throughout the New Testament, we witness time and time again our Lord Jesus Christ performing miracles. He usually says to the person who is healed, "Your faith has made you well..go and tell no one."
So why are we talking about such a topic? Well, my dear friends, it is because the word "miracle" for us has become the word and reality of "magic" to others. What is one person's prayer for a miracle can be another person's prayer for good luck. And what happens when we pray for a miracle and it happens? We then say, "What a great God! We believe in Him." But when we pray and that miracle does not occur, are we putting our faith in a false God? Do we think, "God must not love me since He didn't do what I asked Him to do"?
