Guest: Fr. Seraphim Dedes

Church music is an integral part of the Orthodox Christian church experience; as Orthodox Church Services in America are moving toward English speaking services, so is the church music. Fr. Chris and Emmy welcome Fr. Seraphim Dedes who will teach us the intricacies of Byzantine style music and how it is being translated into Western notation and why. Today we commemorate the life of St. Romanos the Melodist, who brought us such wonderful church music.

Fr. Deacon Michael Hyatt, newly elected Chief Executive Officer of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Christian publisher in the world and publisher of The Orthodox Study Bible, joins Father Chris and Emmy to discuss the ever-growing market for Orthodox Christian materials.

Guest: Dr. Aristeides Papadakis

To better understand the view of the Papacy from an Orthodox perspective, you must first understand the schism.

10/22/2005 Topic: How Do You Help a Friend That Has a Chemical Dependency?

Guest: Michael Kallas

Addiction is one of the hardest things for people who are not addicted to understand. As Christians, divine law and its two supreme values, To Love God & To Love Thy neighbor, direct us. As frustrating as it is we need to find ways to help our neighbor and ourselves. You as a listener of this program may be concerned about a loved one’s drinking or a family member’s drug abuse problem. In any case, be sure to join Fr. Chris and Emmy while they speak with Michael Kallas and explore some ways of reaching out and helping those struggling with an addiction

Be sure to tune in this week as Dr. Markides tells us how to discover spirituality from a grounded, historical Christian faith; offering insights into the way that the Christian religion has developed within the context of the modern world.
