Fr. Marc, with Eric and Hannah, will host this time of discussion and casual conversation around the living room fireplace, about topics all Christians are challenged with in our modern world. We will approach these topics from the Orthodox perspective, but this doesn’t mean we will always come to perfect conclusions on every topic. Rather we will listen and learn from others and try to have an open mind about some things. The format will be to read a short something together followed by a discussion. Weekly articles can be found at the following link.Articles for Thursday Night Talks
