Conciliar Media Ministries
The Antiochian Archdiocese places a high priority on outreach and communication through a variety of mediums. This is particularly demonstrated by Conciliar Media Ministries, which encompasses both Conciliar Press and Ancient Faith Radio, an online streaming radio station. Conciliar Press has been a witness of Orthodox Christianity in the English-speaking world for over thirty years. The popular Orthodox Study Bible, now with both the Old and New Testaments, is also a publication of Conciliar Press. To learn more, or to place an order, visit their website at www.conciliarpress.com. Ancient Faith Radio broadcasts both Orthodox music and talk in two separate streams twenty-four hours a day.

Newly Released + The Life of Saint Brigid: Abbess of Kildare
As the ministry of beloved Saint Patrick came to an end, another unlikely hero heard God’s call and ran full force the Christian race, bringing Christ to Ireland. Young Brigid, an eager and charming girl, forsook her noble birth and followed the windy road Christ had called her to. From dairymaid, to shepherdess, to the Abbess of Kildare, Saint Brigid’s story teaches us to be generous in spirit, to be tireless in our charity, and above all to seek God’s calling for our own lives.

New Direction for Conciliar Media
John and Tonya MaddexThe 2009 Antiochian Convention in Palm Desert coincided with the announcement by Conciliar Media Ministries that the ministry is discontinuing AGAIN and The Handmaiden magazines in their current printed forms, as well as moving the base of operations for Conciliar to the Chicago area.
Said CEO John Maddex, “We are embracing new technology that will reduce our costs by utilizing digital and audio formats where possible. While such decisions are difficult, these adjustments represent a necessary pruning and will result in a new lean model of operations with a continued strong evangelistic emphasis.”
