Description

Welcome to WORDS OF LIFE, supplying spiritual nourishment for our life in Christ today. This podcast compliments DAILY ORTHODOX STUDY BIBLE READING, DAILY CATECHISM OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH and THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD. While the latter broadcasts daily Gospel homilies, this podcast emphasises catechesis and in-depth study courses, suitable both for catechumens and those who want to strengthen their Christian faith and living. ‘Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.’ (Philippians 2:16)
