Source: Public Orthodoxy Sergei Chapnin Director of Communications at the OCSC of Fordham University and Chief Editor of The Gifts (Дары) Almanac As an Orthodox Christian witnessing the systematic persecution of clergy and faithful in Russia, I find myself compelled to break the deafening indifference within our American Orthodox communities. My heart grows heavier each day as friends—priests I’ve known for decades—suffer for their faithfulness to the Gospel of peace. Here, I must acknowledge that Ukrainians are dying daily under Russian aggression. At the same time, hundreds of pro-war priests from Russia actively support the war efforts in the occupied…

Source: The National Herald Analysis by Theodore Kalmoukos It seems to be the tragic fate of the beleaguered Holy Cross Theological School in Boston that, every so often, various self-styled “wise men” appear out of nowhere and begin conducting experiments, invoking dreams and visions of every kind. Most recently, in the long parade of those who have held leadership of the School in recent years, were the priests Nicholas Triantafilou and Christopher Mitropoulos, and more recently, the layman from Florida, George Cantonis — each leaving behind his own “mark,” all of which are painfully familiar and have been thoroughly documented…

Source: Orthodox Christian Fellowship For the past 25+ years, Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) has excelled in creating transformative experiences for students through national programs, such as Real Break and College Conference. These high-impact programs are important to our ministry and students. Solely focusing on these peak experiences, though, is akin to a spiritual life that only celebrates Pascha and Christmas. There is an increasing need for consistent, daily discipleship in the lives of OCF students. The time which volunteers and clergy can invest on-campus is limited.
