Bush. In addition you will hear about a new monthly podcast from Hellenic College Office of Vocation and Mission. Tell your friends and relatives to listen in as well.
**********************
THIS WEEK’S PODCASTS
This week on Special Moments in Orthodoxy, join us for a special visit to Saint Vladimir’s Orthdox School of Theology where Professor Timothy Clark speaks about the Hellenistic nature of Jewish education during the Hellenistic Period. In this week's episode of Theologically Thinking, Fr. William Chiganos speaks to us about many Feast Days of September, including the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, The Nativity of the Theotokos, Saint Euphemia and Saints Sophia, Faith, Hope and Love. This week on OCN Now, Fr. Chris gets a brief report from Jamie who is the IOCC rep for the relief efforts in strife ridden Pakistan. This week on Just Thinking, Fr. Chris and Terry Mattingly speak about the recent Glen Beck rally and the role of Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King and how does religion and politics fit into this equation.
**********************
Touch the World with Christ’s Love
SCOBA Agencies are teaming up to share how they Touch the World with Christ’s Love. Their new podcast will be launching on the OCN website on September 20. Each month will focus on a different subject: September: OCF (coincides with College Student Sunday); October: OCMC (Mission Sunday); November: IOCC (IOCC Sunday) December: OCN (Share the Light Sunday is in January); and January: OCP (Prison Ministries Awareness)
**********************
Share the Light Partners
Many are called, but few are chosen (*Matthew 22:14). The Orthodox Christian Network Share the Light Partners have answered to Christ’s call to spread the gospel and give abundantly. As the chosen ones, our partners provide the financial backbone to our outreach media ministry. Each Share the Light Partner donates at least $1,000 per year. It is our goal to attain 75 partners by Thanksgiving and 100 by the end of the year. Please answer the call and step forward to join the 46 who have already made a commitment.
******************
New Adult Catechism Class Offered in September
OCN and St. Demetrios Church will be presenting another Adult Catechism Class starting on September 12, 2010 at 10am each Sunday through the month of December via web cast. Listeners and viewers will also be able to download the study guide for each class from the myocn.net site. The class is based on the book, A Catechetical Handbook of the Eastern Orthodox Church by D. H. Stamtis, PhD.
Our goal as Orthodox Christians is to attain theosis but many people have no idea what this means. The way we can approach that state is through the cardinal virtues of faith, hope and love, which are the practical and directive goals set for man. To attain these goals, the Church, in its infinite wisdom has articulated the process through its dogmas, worship, and morals, respectively.
How do we of the Orthodox faith proclaim the faith and persuade an outsider to take a second look at what we have to offer? How do we keep our children in the faith and Traditions of our forefathers? How do we propagate the faith and traditions to all who have thirst for eternity? Don't miss this exciting web cast each week and remember to visit myocn.net for further updates and the actual broadcast. All classes will be archived and each one will also have a down loadable study guide at the myocn.net site. Tune in and by all means tell your family and friends to do so likewise.
