Join our online Book Study group, which meets every other week on Fridays at 8pm.
We are beginning to read a new book, "The Religion of the Apostles" by Fr Stephen De Young.
This is one of the best sellers among Orthodox books at the moment. The book "presents the Orthodox Christian Church of today as a continuation of the religious life of the apostles, which in turn was a continuation of the life of the people of God since the beginning of creation."
We meet via Google Meet; therefore, reply to this email to get the meeting link.

Numbers would fail to express the multiplicity of parts of the human frame, which was made in no other way than by the great wisdom of God. The flesh, therefore, is not destitute of participation in the constructive wisdom and power of God.
- Saint Irenaeus of Lyons

This week I would like to share with you a podcast that will challenge you in a lot of ways. If you have a young person, teenager to young adult, in your household, ask them to listen to it as well.
We Are Orthodoxy presents raw, honest, and sometimes heavy conversations about God, faith, and life, from the perspective of young people.
From the podcast description:
"Why do some young adults leave the Church, while others stay engaged? Rather than guess, we’ll interview young adults for an important conversation that highlights real stories and real struggles. We Are Orthodoxy empowers young adults to speak for themselves and to tell their own stories of faith and doubt."
The episode I am sharing today is a conversation with Jasiel and his journey to the Orthodox Church. Jasiel shares his story of being born in the Dominican Republic, moving to New York City as a young boy, and playing piano as a young man for his church. The son of two Pentecostal pastors, Jasiel’s move toward Orthodoxy has not come without a cost. But for him it’s worth it.
Have a listen! And explore other conversations in the podcast.
