Each week, we explore Scripture through the Orthodox Church’s living tradition. We draw on the Fathers, the liturgical life, and the wisdom handed down through the ages to see the Scriptures in the light of Christ. Whether we’re reflecting on the readings, a feast, a saint, or everyday Christian life, the goal is the same: to meet Christ more deeply. These sessions are open to everyone, inquirers, catechumens, the newly received, and lifelong Orthodox Christians alike. Come and grow with us.

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life...”
[John 14:6]
“Jesus Christ is the truth about God and the truth about man, since He is both God and man. God’s real nature is completely revealed in the Son of God, the Incarnate Word, and the whole truth about man, his worth, value and dignity, are realized and made manifest to man in the Son of Man, Jesus of Nazareth.”
-Archbishop Dmitri Royster of Blessed Memory
