The conversion of the church of Agia Sophia in Constantinople to a mosque may be one of the signs of things to come. Is it just a coincidence that this happened so close to the Feast of St. Paisios who had a lot to say about Turkey's future and the status of Agia Sophia. Is this the beginning of the fulfillment of the Prophesies? May God have mercy! Watch here the documentary by Trisagion Films, Inc. https://youtu.be/qVX1HOxrDcw

Injustice, Racism and Violence of any form are condemned We stand in unequivocal solidarity and peaceful protest with all those who condemn racism and inequality, which betray the spirit of freedom and human dignity in our nation, i.e. one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All human beings are made in the image of God and are of equal value no matter where they were born and what the color of their skin might be. Racism destroys the soul of t...he racist and reduces the recipients of his/her hatred to less than human. The unjust and unjustifiable death of any person whether black, brown or white, and especially when in the custody of those entrusted with the enforcement of Law and Order, is deplorable and leads to oppression. At the same time, we denounce all expressions of violence and revenge, including those despoiling and detracting from peaceful demonstrations. Peaceful marches of protest are a distinctive hallmark of American freedom and their exploitation by anarchists is a desecration of our freedom. Above all, let us heed to the call of St. Paul: Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all (Romans 12:17-18).

The Passion and Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ: Join us this evening (Thursday 4/16) beginning at 6:00 pm EST via the Live Stream provided by Trisagion Films, Inc. This is the most moving of all the services of Holy Week as we walk with our Lord from the Last Supper with His disciples, to the Garden of Gethsemane, to the Sanhedrin and His condemnation to death by the Jewish leadership, to the Court of Pilate, where the decision is made to Crucify Him. We experience His... betrayal by Judas, His denial by Peter, the false accusations, the slapping of His sacred face, His mocking by the Roman soldiers, His condemnation to the Cross, His walk up to Golgotha carrying His own Cross, and His Crucifixion. Please join us to experience in a very deep way the sacrifice of our Lord for us. The text of the service is found here: http://www.agesinitiatives.com//16/em/gr/se.m04.d17.em.pdf https://youtu.be/Np8chOP1Kl0 See more
