In Orthodox tradition there is a clear liturgical transition into the fast of Great Lent, but that seems to be largely missing in the Nativity Fast.  Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri help us look a little more carefully for the nuances of the Orthodox expressions of Advent - a period of waiting, or postponing, as we anticipate the coming of Christ.  As this experience of Advent disappears in the West, it is becoming even more important for Orthodox Christians to witness the spirit of slowing down, desiring and longing for the feast.

In our fourth season, Fr Yuri and Fr Geoffrey are releasing episodes on a variety of topics that were previously only available to our patrons.  If you like what you hear, and would like access to much more - including monthly livestreams - please consider supporting our project by heading to patreon.com/enactingthekingdom and choosing a tier of support.  We would love to have you join our growing community.
