Does the Church Exist in Two Modes?

About this episode

Father Tom discusses the historical and Biblical perspectives on the tension between 'cradle and convert' in the Orthodox Church.

The Orthodox Observer (GOA) published a provocative article noting the polarity between "cradle and convert," "evangelism and ethnicity," positing that this is "a tension as ancient as the Orthodox Church." Father Tom responds from an historical and Biblical perspective.
