Welcome to the Orthodox Church [VIDEOS]

Order from Amazon

Welcome to the Orthodox Church! Join Frederica Mathewes-Green on a journey into the Eastern Orthodox Church. Learn about Orthodox teachings and dogma, Orthodox architecture and terminology, and what it means to live an Orthodox life.

From the introduction:

Welcome to the Orthodox Church—its history, theology, worship, spirituality, and daily life. Mathews-Green provides commentary and explanations on everything from how to “venerate” an icon, the Orthodox understanding of the atonement, to the Lenten significance of tofu. It’s the perfect book for inquirers and newcomers, but even readers who have been Orthodox all their lives say they learned things they never knew before.

There are many videos. The page may take a minute to load.
