With a Preface by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna

“I have heard it said that preaching, in the sense of clergymen delivering serious, exhortative sermons, is not really part of the Orthodox Tradition but is rather a Protestant custom. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Christ Himself preached: ‘From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”’ Preaching is at the very foundation of Orthodox Tradition. [...]Since a Bishop cannot preach to all of the Faithful in his diocese every Sunday, he delegates that duty to others in the Church community, most generally to the Bishop’s deputies at local parishes, Orthodox Priests.”
