  • So thankful

    I am so thankful for this channel, I was able to listen to “Ascetics in the World Volume 1”. I am an Orthodox Christian mother of three and cannot afford to buy spiritual books right now. This book was life changing and I wouldn’t have been able to experience it without Athonite Audio. Hoping for volume two! May it be blessed!

(Excerpt) THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN THE WORLD (Part 1 - Talks & Discussions in Cyprus & Russia) - Metr. Hierotheos of Nafpaktos, Greece
Q: Is it possible to know the dogmas with the nous and the mind? Or are the dogmas the result of ethos, asceticism and healing?
The speaker emphasizes the inseparable link between dogma and ethos, arguing that one cannot genuinely believe in dogmas without them being lived as experience and a way of life.
