What is Orthodoxy? How Should We Approach it?

Описание: What is Orthodox Christianity? In this talk, Fr. Peter Heers addresses ROCOR Youth in Australia (December 2023), explaining the Church as Christ’s Body, a hospital for the soul, and the path to theosis. Discover how the Incarnation, the Mysteries, and the Orthodox way lead from purification to illumination and deification, and why Orthodoxy is not simply another religion but the one faith revealed for our salvation.
