What is Orthodox Christianity?


Greetings,

I wanted to share with you that after three years, What is Orthodox Christianity? An Answer in Three Parts is finally complete!  It is a three-part slideshow movie that aims to:

1. Answer the question for a contemporary American audience with some familiarity of Christianity.

2. Offer some basic orientation for those who may be exploring Orthodox Christianity. 

It tries to do this using the aesthetics and resources of the Church, rather than conventional movie-making techniques. Therefore, the decision to use still images, to use readable text (rather than voiceover), and other aesthetic choices are deliberate and are inspired by what is already present in Orthodox Christianity. 

It features 363 icons, 162 photographs, 68 other pictures, and 92 explicit references to Scripture.

The three parts are available here:

Part One; "The Teachings of Christ" (running time 40 minutes): https://vimeo.com/133268270

Part Two: "Falling Away From Christ" (running time 45 minutes): https://vimeo.com/132086893

Part Three: "The Life in Christ" (running time: 40 minutes): https://vimeo.com/132791183

This movie was made to be shared with others...so please do so.

With love in Christ,
Fr. Daniel
