Thank you for presenting Orthodoxy in its splendid beauty in a warm, friendly way! This is truly an absolutely wonderful faith which helps us unite with Him! God bless you to continue this work! Christ has risen! ❤🙏🏻

Great video as always! "Be the Bee," "The Trench," and "Pop Culture Coffee Hour" are all such wonderful ways to engage everybody in our Orthodox faith! We are all very grateful for your meaningful work! You are reaching so many people via these media.

We ascend & become one with Christ.

I am Roman Catholic but I just hope some day to attend an Orthodox Catholic Church and then hopefully these two churches can unite as ONE. In Jesus name, amen. Glory to Jesus! 🌸🎀🙏🏻🕊 God bless you! :)

Great video as always. So I noticed that at about the 3 second mark the picture is of my church, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Bethlehem. Very cool. Keep up the great work.

+Stamatis Tsamoutalidis You're blessed with a wonderful parish community!

What a beautiful Church you attend in! I was wondering what's the name of the Church. :)

Great job Stev.

Protestants I've encountered stress the fact that going to church doesn't save. Orthodoxy says that it actually should.

[@ReclaimMind]

What about if you can't make it to church weekly as it's difficult to get to, but only fortnightly or even monthly?

+Jaime Kendler-Arnold All we can do is our best. Many people (because of geography, illness, etc.) can't make it to Liturgy on Sunday mornings, so they're forced to watch or listen to live streams of the service, at best. (You can find some here: www.goarch.org/chapel/live) Yet there's still a sadness in that. It would be better to be with the Church as much as possible, to not just hear the hymns and readings but to stand with our brothers and sisters, to receive Christ's Body and Blood with them and be transformed with them. Unfortunately, that's not always possible. Some people drive many, many hours once a month to attend Liturgy at their nearest parish, because that's as often as they can attend. There's beauty in that effort. We do the best we can.

when the last stone from the last church faĺls upon the last priests head, we will go forward as a species like never before..
