About this episode

Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony discuss the Church's role in protecting parish culture while adhering to Christ's teachings.

Following Pentecost, Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony discuss how the Church protects and nurtures healthy parish culture while remaining faithful to Christ's command to care for His flock. Drawing on Scripture, canon law, and pastoral experience, they explore disruptive behavior, false teaching, predatory personalities, online "para-ecclesial" communities, and the responsibility of clergy and faithful alike to preserve unity without sacrificing truth. The episode concludes with a call to cultivate authentic Orthodox formation through prayer, worship, accountability, and life within the parish rather than through personalities, factions, or divisive online influences.
