Evangelising Eastern Orthodoxy

Why I Converted to Orthodoxy


Listen Later

One of the goalsof this podcast is to increase our understanding Eastern Orthodoxy. What betterthan to hear it from someone who has chosen to convert.

 

In this episodewe hear Gamy’s story of conversion from a Charismatic background into EasternOrthodoxy—and the questions that shaped the process: church authority, how toread Scripture with history in mind, and embracing the “phronema” (Orthodoxmindset). We also discuss Communion and the Real Presence, assurance ofsalvation, and how Orthodox approach Scripture, Tradition and EcumenicalCouncils.

 

This is not adebate but rather a respectful discussion aimed at clarity.
