Father Michael covers the basics of why we should be be observant in the hallowing of everyday life. Orthodoxy is learned not by study, but by doing; not through pondering, but through action. We practice our Faith in communion with the whole Church and ours is not a “felt” Faith, but a lived Faith. We witness to others by how we live our Orthodoxy and our love for Christ will determine the degree of our observance.

Fr Michael then speaks about some practical ways of living our Faith, which we have listed here as a checklist for handy use after you have listened to the episode:

- How to set up and arrange an Icon corner in your home.

- Which Icons to have in your Icon Corner.

- Icons in other rooms of your house.
