A Tender Approach to Difficult Subjects

Father John Chryssavgis takes a tender approach to these most difficult of subjects. There is no fire and brimstone only a very thoughtful weighing of issues with a uniquely Orthodox perspective. Father John draws from a variety of sources that include the Bible, the early patriarchs, and the teaching of the desert fathers and beautifully illuminates the church's position on and ideals of love, eros, and marriage.
