Show Notes

What is authentic Eastern Orthodox Christian theological education? It's not just academic religious education or doctrinal philosophical instruction. It's not primarily concerned with the rational mind or external behavior.  Orthodox theological education is primarily concerned with the heart, the spiritual intellect, and the purification of the heart through prayer and repentance. It's practical spiritual training for living the ancient Way of Christ, unchanged for thousands of years, in our 21st century world. It's learning by experience a Path that leads to profound change, healing, illumination, and transfiguration by divine power. This is the Way of Orthodox Theological Education for both children and adults.
