Discovering Orthodoxy - Evidences for God



In this unit Father Peter Farrington considers whether science requires an atheistic point of view, or whether it is possible and reasonable to engage in scientific studies while also believing that there is an intelligent and purposeful creator. The unit also considers the variety of scientific evidence which allows scientists to consider that the existence of God makes most sense.

Discovering Orthodox - Beginning with .. Church History

Discovering Orthodox - Beginning with .. Church History



In this unit H.E. Metropolitan Seraphim of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate introduces the study of Church History as a necessary aspect of our catechesis.

It is as we look back to the life of the Church that we learn how to live in the present and with hope for the future.

Abba Seraphim: Alter Orbis: British Christianity & the Roman Imperium



Abba Seraphim was among a number of distinguished speakers at a day conference entitled, "Britain and the Early Church. Exploring the origins of British Christianity", presented under the auspices of the Fellowship of Saint Alban & St. Sergius. The lectures were held at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Southampton in 14 July. A number of Orthodox jurisdictions were represented: Father Chrysostom MacDonnell (Antiochian Orthodox Deanery) spoke on "After the Romans Left", tracing the cultural and religious growth of the Insular Church; Father John Nankivell (Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira) led a discussion exposing the 'myth' of Celtic Christianity whilst Father Andrew Phillips (Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia) gave an extensive historical overview in "The Saints of the Isles and the Isles of the Saints." Academic contributions were made by Professor Paul Cavill of the University of Nottingham, who spoke on the "Veneration of the Cross in England" from its Constantinian origins; whilst Professor Michelle Brown of the University of London highlighted many exciting discoveries about cross-cultural links from ancient manuscripts. Abba Seraphim concluded with a talk, "Alter Orbis: British Christianity & the Roman Imperium." In his welcome to those attending, Father Stephen Platt, General Secretary of the Fellowship, commended Angelos Stanway, who had planned and organised the day single-handedly. Members of the British Orthodox Parish at Portsmouth and Southampton Mission showed their support by attending.

There is hope in your future, says the LORD, That your children shall come back to their own border. Jeremiah 31:17 NKJV

Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry. Psalm 106:44 NKJV

Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. Exodus 2:23-25 NKJV

You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea. Nehemiah 9:9 NKJV

In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border. Isaiah 19:19 NKJV

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV

And the LORD said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. Exodus 3:7 NKJV

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. John 15:20 NKJV
