This year’s Orthodox Conference on Missions and Evangelism will focus on one of the biggest keys to success for Orthodox Christian evangelism in North America... unity. We have one faith, and we have one message... we need one united Church to bring that message of faith to America, and bring America to Orthodoxy! Our keynote speaker, His Beatitude Metropolitan JONAH, primate of the Orthodox Church in America, will set the tone for the weekend by exploring why unity among the Orthodox is absolutely crucial to domestic evangelism. We will consider practical steps for developing a unified approach to outreach on the parish level, as well as related issues of Orthodox mission building and evangelism. |
The Conference is truly a blessing providing practical church growth strategies in a spiritually enriching environment. We loved this conference! It was thrilling, meaningful, and very fun. We have been blessed spiritually and with practical ideas for evangelism. It far exceeded my expectations and what I thought I’d get out of it. Fr. Peter reminds us why we became Orthodox – he renews the vision, rekindles the fire. An excellent, inspiring, and very practical conference. The Conference provided me with an opportunity for personal reflection on my own Christian walk, and a better understanding of how non-Orthodox Christians view God and their faith. You literally saved my parish! There wouldn’t be a parish there if it weren’t for this conference. |
