Defining Mary is Defending Christ
Father Thomas responds to Samuel Farag's continuing series, "Eastern Orthodoxy: Through the Lens of Scripture," in which he calls the Orthodox Christian teachings regarding Mary "Mariolatry." Are Orthodox Christians guilty of idolizing Mary, as he charges?
Panic at the Protest
Social media posts noting the unprecedented number of conversions to Orthodox Christianity are increasing. Far from obscure, marginal voices on YouTube, Protestant thought leaders are speaking out about the trend with alarm. We'll respond to their claims.
Covering Holy Things
God commanded that holy objects be covered, acknowledging their holiness and maintaining the mystery revealed. But if the curtain of the temple was torn in two, why do we Orthodox Christians still use a curtain? Why veil sacred objects? And what about head coverings?
Do you really know Isaiah 53?
The difference in emphasis between the Hebrew Masoretic text of Isaiah 53 and the Greek Septuagint is significant. Could this be the reason why the doctrine of Penal Substitutionary Atonement seems so out of place to Orthodox Christians?
Euthanasia: The Mercy Trap
While over 76,000 Canadians used the MAID program (Medical Assistance in Dying) to end their life, Switzerland's Sacro (suicide) Pod is now being designed to hold couples. What is the Orthodox Christian view of medically assisted euthanasia?
Roman Catholic Liturgical Reform's Bitter Fruit
The Roman Catholic church's liturgical reforms continue to meet passionate resistance 60 years later. We'll review the state of their reforms to help us distinguish between the natural development of Orthodox liturgical practice and a destructive agenda-driven reform.
Refuting the Claims of @AmericanGospel on Icon Veneration (Part 2)
Pastor Samuel Farag, a former Coptic Christian, has partnered with American Gospel Films to create a 10-part series, "Eastern Orthodoxy Through the Lens of Scripture." Fr Thomas will respond to their episodes against the veneration of icons.
Does Orthodoxy need to be Clarified?
Fr. Thomas responds to an address by Vassa Larin about the term 'Orthodox." Larin claims that misuse of basic terms like "orthodoxy," "church," and "canonicity" are causing distortion of the Faith and require further clarification. What does she mean by "reclaiming" and "clarifying" these terms?
