This is the first episode from my interview with Orthodox Protopresbyter, professor, and podcaster, Fr. Theodore Petrides.
Fr. Theodore is pastor of St.s Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Reading, PA. He has taught pastoral care at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Seminary, collaborated on the Orthodox Study Bible, and produces the podcast “Signs in Our Times” on Ancient Faith Radio.
In this episode, Fr. Theodore begins a discussion of some things that enquirers should understand about the Orthodox Church.

Really enjoy these videos. I'm currently looking into the orthodox church, so they've been a tremendous help.
In the bible John 3:3 it says you must be ‘Born Again’ to see the kingdom of God. I would like to know the orthodox views on this. I am an orthodox myself, but don’t know any other orthodox that knows about this analogy. Please do a video I’m really interested in what you have to say.
Thanks for making these videos. I'm looking at joining the Orthodox Church and its a great resource.
I am interested in Orthodox church, but what has changed?
Thank you For. Theodore. You've answered many questions today and have presented me with many other questions to be answered another day.
Father Professor: This is an important presentation of thoughts for the Church and not just the Inquirers…. Thank you for entering into this media for a wider outreach! This is a very important move for the wider Church! Blessings, Love, and Peace! Your Student, Fr. Deacon John Holoduek
thank ya all
He makes a very good point that if you do not continue to study, you may develop your own take on things. Excellent point for the reason why I am on a journey to find out what I’ve been missing all these years.
I'm a convert to Orthodoxy, and have been with the Church for many years! The beauty of our faith is that I'm always learning something new and wonderful about our faith.
Honest and humble presentation. Very well done.
I first heard Fr Theodore through Fr Andrew Stephen Damick and I love to listen to him. This kind of calm and gentleness is what I love in a pastor.
Thank you for these interviews, Dr. Middleton!
I love the Orthodox, and the beauty of the liturgy, but one has to understand that Christ did not found ethnic churches but rather One Universal Catholic Church. The unification of east and west in Union with the Pope in Rome is what Christ wants.
