Show Notes

Welcome back to the podcast. This year, we’re changing things up with a renewed focus on long-form discussions. In this first episode of the season, Father Theophan introduces our latest series on salvation and suffering, exploring how the life of the Church and the witness of the martyrs reveal the meaning of righteous struggle in Christ.

St Kassiani Choir’s new Great Lent CD is now available for digital download or from your parish bookshop. Download at: https://music.antiochian.org.au/

With beautiful reflections, chanting, and weekly introductions to the priests and faithful of the Archdiocese, we hope this podcast educates, empowers, and enriches you by the Light of Christ.

As always, if you have any questions about Orthodoxy or would like to submit a question for the podcast, please email us at [email protected].
