Why the church of the Resurrection (Al-Kiama)? The sensible answer is that the old Church in our parish, Saints Peter and Paul Church, was no longer able to accommodate the faithful who attend it.

Were It Not for the Movement
He who has been proven to you that he perceives the Orthodox Youth Movement as a historical mistake, let him be until he repents from this confused perspective. Do not ally yourself with anyone, absolutely anyone, other than he who demonstrates a clear conviction, in both words and actions, that he himself, whoever he is, ...

Every human being carries a message. These days on which I went out to walk here, two people spoke to me. The first man asked me about the hour. I got the message! Wherever I am, my call is to extend to the hour, to the one which Jesus has asked us to spend our ...

After nearly thirty years, we met again. The passing of his father brought us together. He had come from abroad. I did not recognize him. I greeted him as if he were a stranger. If you ever knew the people, as members of a Church in which you serve, they will get hurt if u ...

When I write you a text in the form of a question and an answer, I generally refer to one of the older brethren I have come to know during the course of my commitment. The communion of life in the Church convinced me that the knowledge of God is preserved by being passed on ...
