Confessing Sin to a Loving God

Fr. Chris Metropulos

​Have you made any resolutions for the New Year? Are you hoping to put the old year behind you? This week, we have the first of many discussions with Fr. Christodulos (Papadeas), the ierokyrix, preacher/confessor, of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta. Listen as he speaks with Fr. Chris on the topic of confession and God’s unending love for humankind. There are many misconceptions about confession, and this episode will clear things up for you. Instead of ignoring your regrets, confess them. It’s time for a fresh start.

And keep listening as Fr. Chris speaks with Fr. Evagoras Constantinides, the spokesperson for St. Nicholas National Shrine and the Director of Ionian Village at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. He offers a brief history of the St. Nicholas parish that was destroyed during the terrorist attack on 9/11, explains the vision for the new Shrine, and discusses the architect and his design. If you’d like more information on the Shrine or would like to make a contribution, you can visit www.stnicholaswtc.org.
