The Story of the Church the Age of the Councils Class 7

With the current COVID 19 crises, I will begin once again to post to this blog. This will be a continuation of the Adult Catechism Class “Orthodoxy 101” offered at Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church Austin Texas in the Spring of 2020. This is my first attempt to use this technology to present these classes. I apologize ahead of time if they are less than polished. Hopefully they will improve as we learn together. Please click the link below to watch the lesson. If you have questions they can be directed to my email at icons3@me.com. It is my prayer that these humble offerings will be received in the spirit that they are offered, God Bless….Dn. G.
