Church in the Land of Desire

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Secularism, materialism, individualism, narcissism, relativism, the so-called ‘culture wars,’ the loss of a sense of community, etc.—they all contribute to the increased challenges to the Orthodox Church in today’s modern North American society. How do we define these threats, face them, and ultimately place them into a proper perspective? Fr. Edward Rommen soberly and scholarly addresses these while pointing to the critical foundations of the Orthodox Church as a clarion call for a spiritual renewal individually and within the Church. These threats are not new but are magnified in today’s divisive world. His prophetic voice is critical for all who are seriously trying to maintain their own spiritual life amidst the confusion while still representing the Orthodox Church to a thirsty world.”
