The Orthodox Ethos
Join Fr. Peter Heers as he explores and presents the distinguishing characteristic of being a Christian: The Orthodox Ethos. You will be (re)introduced to Christ, the Incarnate and Diachronic Presence of God, in the lives of those who have been purified, illumined and glorified by Him. You will see the human person and the world anew, in the Light of the Resurrected and Ascended God-man as expressed by those “made gods by His Grace” (St. Athanasius the Great) in every age. You will be given great hope and a new perspective on life and death, history and eternity, and the very purpose of your existence. Fr. Peter is an Orthodox Christian priest, professor, author, speaker, translator and publisher.
The Orthodox Ethos
Τhe Sunday of the Holy Fathers and the Meaning of Heresy
A pernicious and dangerous re-definition of heresy is spreading among theologians and hierarchs which blurs the boundaries of Orthodoxy and heresy and thus blocks the path of return and salvation for many. In this podcast Fr. Peter examines the teaching of the Holy Fathers on heresy, heretics, and the key differences, including, first of all, the therapeutic methodology in the Church, the fruit of which, in every age, are the Saints and Holy Fathers.
