ON THE WAY TO ORTHODOXY:
"What About the Other Nine?"
Considering Baptism and Entrance into the Church for Others and Ourselves"
We call our "Catechesis Program" – "On the Way to Orthodoxy." While designed for those inquiring about the Orthodox Faith, it is also meant to renew and instill a sense of wonder in those who are already Orthodox and encouraged to attend and participate.
The next Session will be on Sunday, March 9, following the Divine Liturgy, from 12:30-1:30. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Throughout the weekdays of Great Lent we will hear daily passages from "Moved by Compassion: Exploring the Core of Orthodox Christian Life," by Fr. John Jones.
To be included on the email list for our Daily Lenten Reader, contact Fr. John at:

As we approach studying Baptism and the Bible in our Sunday sermons and in the “On the Way to Orthodoxy” Sessions we’re going to use a version of this image that Frances Young presented in her book, “Biblical Exegesis and the Formation of Christian Culture” – a spider’s web!
Her book seeks to develop a way of studying the Bible that is not based on “a linear argument or chronological account, but something more like a spider’s web.
