The School of Christian Spiritual Formation focuses at the very heart of Orthodox Christian spirituality and the ancient Classical Christian understanding of our very purpose as Christians---to be tra...nsformed through God's grace, by His Divine Energies, as partakers of the divine nature, into the very image and likeness of Christ.

It's time Eastern Orthodox Christians shared our Faith with others...so many don't understand what we're all about -it's the "best kept secret", that is now yours for the asking!

God’s answer to the Arrogance of Wealth and Power

Christ is born, Glorify Him!
The humble baby Jesus in the manger, kept warm by the breath of animals, provides an image of weakness and vulnerability, but at the same time defeats the arrogance of King Herod and and haughtiness of all powerful men of the world. The humility of the baby Jesus, who is God Himself, provides an image of encouragement for the humble and weak of the world who find themselves confronted with the haug...htiness of the rich and powerful men of the world of all times. God, in the end, has authority over life and death, sickness and suffering, the elements and the laws of nature. He showed that by His life and miracles on earth and the power He granted to His disciples of all generations after that. He is the One who has the ultimate say as to where each one of us ends up.

The Gentleness of God

There is a very unique tenderness in the feast of Christmas; God has lowered Himself to reach us, and He has gone all the way as He lowered Himself to the ultimate gentleness, fragility and vulnerability of a baby. This is one of those real human moments that God has embraced, which make us stand in awe at His love for us.
As a newborn child He is inviting us to also become gentle, vulnerable and tender, to become like Him in every way.
This awesome feas...t provides a great opportunity for reflection on the state of our lives and a time to reconsider the way we deal with each other. This is the time to forgive each other’s failings and start afresh, to cleanse our hearts and open our minds to His Grace.
Then, joy will fill our hearts, and the Spirit of God will dwell among us. Then, we will hear with the humble shepherds the angelic hymn “Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth Peace, Good Will to Humankind.”

Christ is Born, my brothers and sisters! Christ is Born, Glorify Him!

Fr. Panayiotis

The Theological aspect of the Feast of Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving for Americans is a family event. The roots of this feast are found in the inclination of the human heart to offer thanks to God for the abundance of blessings which He has bestowed upon us. Theologically speaking, this feast is an extension of the Divine Liturgy - the Holy Eucharist (in Greek "Eucharistia"=thanksgiving).
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
