Peter Heers as he examines the phenomenon of the modern "Ecumenical Movement": the goals of this movement, the methodology and implications of it, and the patristic response from the Saints and Elders of our day to what was described by St. Justin Popovic as an ecclesiological "pan-heresy" encompassing all others.

Join Fr. Peter Heers for this lecture given in February of 2022, as he cautions the faithful Orthodox Christians of our day to be watchful for the innovative and heretical ideas encouraged by our secularized and confused culture; from the shedding of the traditional cassock, to the introduction of women to the diaconate, the joining of Masonic and fraternal orders, and more.

Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast shown forth the fishermen as supremely wise by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit, and through them didst draw the world into Thy net. O Befriender of man, glory be to Thee

Most Christians are aware of the awe-inspiring events of the Old Testament in which God prepared the people of Israel for the coming of the Messiah, the Son of God, with prophecies and types. Few, however, know that the common Father of all also cultivated the fields of the nations that they may also receive the seed of His Word and bring forth fruit.  In the first part of this lecture, given at Three Hierarchs Academy in the winter of 2018,  Fr. Peter presents the signs, witnesses and prophecies, the “θεία οικονομία,” or mystery of salvation, of the coming into the world of the Messiah, the Theanthropos, Jesus Christ, the expectation of the nations. In the second part, Fr. Peter examines the opposing spirit of secularism and Ecumenism, the mystery of iniquity, which is at work through nefarious means to bring the Anti-Messiah, the man of sin, to a position of global dominion, in order for the nations to accept him as their messiah, fulfilling the prophecies of the Lord and His Apostles concerning the rise of the Antichrist.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
(1 John 1: 1-4)
