“We anticipate this becoming a regular feature, with different guest speakers every month leading discussions on a different topics,” said Andrew Boyd, OCA Youth Director. “Possible future topics will include making the transition into and out of college, dating as a Christian, faith in the workplace, etc.”
“Our goals are to teach people to “be the bee”, to introduce people to God so they can find Him in everything, everyday, and to practically and concretely live as Orthodox Christians on a daily basis,” added Steven Christoforou, Interim Director of the Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. “Resources like this are a critical part of this important work, especially for those who don’t have easy access to a priest or parish.”
