Journeys: The Video

LOI’s first Zoom event on March 23rd was fully booked, and an opportunity to hear some moving stories about how people had grown in their appreciation, not only of another tradition, but also of their own. We are delighted to make the recording available on YouTube, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-2VFcxg4_8&t=139s. It’s about an hour long.

Speakers include:

Prof Jim Stamoolis, and his former student, Dr Nathan Hoppe (they moved in ‘opposite’ directions!);

Dr Myrto Theocharous, an Evangelical now married to an Orthodox;

Anton Ponomarev, a Russian Orthodox who works extensively with Evangelical mission agencies;

and the current general secretary of the World Council of Churches, Fr Ioan Sauca.

We plan to hold a follow-up event, with further journeys shared.

Why not get in touch with us to share your story?
