This is the third episode from my interview with Orthodox pastor, theologian, professor, Dean Emeritus of St. Vladimir’s Seminary, podcaster, author, and Protopresbyter, Fr. Thomas Hopko of blessed memory.
Fr. Thomas is one of the most beloved figures in Orthodoxy in America in the past century and the Church in this country mourned his untimely repose on March 18, 2015.
I was blessed with the opportunity to meet Fr. Thomas on a number of occasions, one of which was in June of 2010, when he graciously agreed to sit down with me for this interview.
In this episode, Fr. Thomas discusses Orthodox ecclesiology – the Orthodox understanding of the Church.

Brother I miss your old intro background. 😀
"… And in one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church…" ☦️❤️
One of the best, succinct, beautiful, descriptions of The Church I've heard yet.
2:00 is where Fr. Tom starts
Edit: I love how simply, beautifully, and mystically Fr. Tom expressed the beautiful Truths of God. Orthodoxy, is not a religion, for it does away with the entire concept! It is a way of life, a way of being, a reality that is stepped into. For this reason many hate her, because they can't make sense of it. The transcendent truths found within Orthodoxy surpass human knowledge. I'm amazed and humbled, as always by Fr. Tom. May his memory be eternal!
Eternal Memory, Father Tom.
Pray for us. ☦️♥️
The CHURCH – the Mystical Body of Christ!
In a day when so much seems uncertain, unfamiliar, and at times unfathomable we have the unchanging, ever-inspiring, and truly liberating Church which begins and ends in the Alpha/Omega. Thanks be to God for holy men like Fr. Tom that speak the Truth in Love.
Amen Amen Amen
Fr Thomas Hopkins ✝️♥️
Memory Eternal
Interesting talk, thankyou
Open the church! Forgive me.
Hoping to see a video on Orthodox Eschatology. In light of Protestant hyper dispositionalism that is so prevalent today, it is a timely need
I miss Fr. Tom. Memory Eternal.
Once again the Russian aspect alone is shown in bias. Ok I love the Russian part of Orthodoxy. However who helped the conversion of the Russians? OH the Greeks/Byzantines…. Who help the conversions of the Greeks? Oh St Paul. Who converted the Apostles? OH Christ the center of the Faith, lets at least get that right
Thank you so very much for these videos!
