Speaking the Truth in Love

Fr. Thomas took the traveling Ancient Faith Radio microphone with him to Albania and captured several fascinating interviews there. Today we begin with this wonderful conversation between Fr. Tom and Archbishop Anastasios where we will learn about the circumstances that brought the Archbishop there as well as the current work going on in this country on behalf of the Church. To learn more about the Orthodox Church in Albania and, in particular, the mission work taking place there through the Orthodox Christian Mission Center, go to the OCMC website.

Fr. Thomas shows how, despite his persecution of the early Church, St. Paul was indeed an Apostle - by having seen the risen Lord and through his suffering.

Fr. Thomas discusses "the rock" upon whom Christ built his Church and St. Peter's role in that early Church.
