Why Study... The Orthodox Churches of the East with Dr Mary Cunningham 

Just discovered these 'Why study . . .' videos with Mary Cunningham. I find them very easy to listen to. She's obviously well read & knowledgeable, but completely void of all the arrogance than many professors and scholars exhibit today. Thank you for posting these.

I love Mary Cunningham!

I am glad that you are interested in the Orthodox Churches and I am sure that you would be welcomed if you want to visit one. I am not sure whether there are churches in Jamaica, but you could try looking online or in your local telephone directory. Good luck with this! - Dr Mary Cunningham

This is great group of scholars

Interesting that she picks mostly Oriental Orthodox Churches and one Eastern Orthodox.

Google "Is there really a Patristic critique of Icons?" It is in five parts and addresses the Patristic "proof-texts" and shows that there is no substantial Patristic critique of icons. Examples, the Epiphanius quote is a straight up forgery. Those who quote the Council of Elvira fail to note that it was a regional council which never gained any traction in the rest of the Church, it is frequently mistranslated by polemicists, and those who use the canon never follow the council's other canons.

IC XC NI KA Glory to Jesus Christ forever!

so...when are you two gonna become Orthodox? (if you aren't already ;D)

Very good point. As I understand it, Orthodox is the only flavor of the Christian faith that is growing. Does anyone have any supporting (or contrary) data?

Palestine?! Why don't they say Israel?? Curious.
