  • Opening the Door to Orthodox Christianity - Thursdays at the Saint James House from 7-8:30pm - resumes Jan 9, 2025

    This will be a series of classes on the basics of Orthodox Christian beliefs and practices. These classes will be positive, not polemical; practical, not theoretical. Most of all they will aim to open the door to knowing the real God as He revealed through Jesus Christ and known in the scriptures and the Orthodox way. These classes are for inquirers and seekers, “nones” or Churchgoers, non-Orthodox or Orthodox who want to understand their faith better. Meeting with friends around a fireplace and talking about God is one of the best ways I can think of to spend a winter evening. So, I look forward to our time together. – Fr. Marc

Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Keep on believing. 'All things are possible to the one who believes.' Jesus wanted to encourage the father of the epileptic boy to believe in Him. Sometimes what happens in our life is only limited by our lack of faith in God.”- Fr. Marc Dunaway, March 30, 2025.-

"One Accord"

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

How can we who are married and living amid public cares aspire to the monastic life?-- Do whatever good you can. Do not speak evil of anyone. Tell no lie. Despise no one and don’t hold on to hatred. Don’t separate yourself from the Church assemblies. Show compassion to the needy. Do not cause a scandal to anyone. Stay away from another’s bed; and be true to your spouse. If you can do this, you will not be far from the Kingdom of God. - Saint John of the Ladder
