An Appeal from the Eparchial Synod for the St. John of Damascus Orthodox Educational Initiative

Beloved Christians,

The Saint John of Damascus Orthodox Educational Initiative serves families in North America, England and Eastern Europe.

This video appeal directed towards the Christians throughout these regions and is over an hour long. The video begins with a very brief introduction by the Headmaster, followed by a sermon by me concerning the challenges that Modernism and Humanism bring to bear against Christians. The sermon features the teachings of Archbishop Andrew of Rockland on the “The Resoration Of The Orthodox Way Of Life.” This is followed by information about the Saint John’s Initiative and the Appeal for the upcoming school year.

Please share the link above with parents who you think will be helped by this information.

Thank you.

In Christ,

+Moses, of Toronto
Hierarchical Overseer of the St John’s Initiative appointed by the Holy Eparchial Synod

Ask A Priest

Is the GOC Insular?

Q. In considering becoming part of the GOC in America, I am getting warnings from various circles that the attitude of GOC people is that of being “walled off,” “arrogant,” “judgmental,” and “in your face” toward those not in the Genuine Orthodox Church, with accusations such as “World Orthodox” priests are “not even Christians” and the like. Could you give me your personal, realistic assessment of this dynamic and possibly refer me to an official statement on how GOC members should and do relate to and communicate with those in “World Orthodoxy”?
