From the desk of Father Chris Metropulos, Executive Director of the Orthodox Christian Network
We launch into our March monthly theme of what it means to be a Christian with Metropolitan Kallistos Ware. Heʼll be grounding us in our Orthodox beliefs before we hear from leaders of other Christian denominations in the weeks to come. But first, 
In our final show on the topic of Faith & Politics, we’ll discuss the intersection of personal faith and public policies. How do we hold fast to our Orthodox beliefs without denying the beliefs and rights of others? And, speaking of other people’s beliefs, how much do you know about the teachings of other Christian denominations? Fr. John Morris explains the importance of knowing about other churches’ teachings. Read more from Fr. Morris’ book, The Historic Church: An Orthodox View of Christian History: 
Many of us have heard of Sharia Law, but how much do we know about it or about its use in US Courts? Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou explains what this controversy is all about and what it means for your religious freedoms. But before we talk about religion in the courtroom, we’ll talk about religion in the home with Prof. David Hunter. He’ll share some early Christian writings about how a household should be run and look at how that same advice can be applied in our homes today. Check out Amazon for David’s book, 
How can we firmly but lovingly stand up for Christ in conversations about abortion, homosexuality and religion? Long-time friend of the show Dr. Albert Rossi is here to give advice on how we can talk about the Orthodox position on these hot-button issues. But first we’ll hear from Prof. Candida Moss about some amazing early Saints and what they can teach us. Visit 
Gov Michael Dukakis shares his thoughts on how personal faith and integrity affect a politician’s professional life. Plus, many of us know about the amazing work that IOCC does around the globe, but tune in to hear about their new plan for domestic crises. For more information on the IOCC, visit http://www.iocc.org/ or call their office at 
In our final episode on the Apocalypse, Fred Krueger talk about climate changes and other environmental problems that might lead to mankind’s extinction. To learn more, visit 
Continuing our discussions on the Apocalypse this month, we’ll hear today from Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou about the current global situation. Do the many political and religious conflicts spell certain and imminent doom? But first, we’ll hear about this year’s Summer CrossRoad program, an annual event of the Office of Vocation and Ministry for Orthodox teens from Ann Bezzerides and Mike Tischel. This year's focus is on vocation and calling. All application forms and information are available on 
On January 1st each year, we commemorate the circumcision of Christ. Today, we’ll learn more about the significance of this event, as well as some of our Orthodox services for infants. Then, we’ll talk with Dr. Edith Humphrey of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary about The Book of Revelation. What does this book teach us about Christ’s second coming? Is it a riddle to be solved or something entirely different? Tune in to hear her thoughts! Pick up your own copy of The Message of Revelation by Michael Wilcock from 
In anticipation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day we’ll be speaking with Fr. Moses Berry about the modern day mental and spiritual prisons we find ourselves in, including racism, and how we can find freedom from them through our faith. Plus, Dr. Gary Smith of Grove City College will join us to talk about Americans’ changing perceptions of Heaven. How have our thoughts on the next life changed over time and what do they reveal about how we understand our relationship with God? Click
