The Orthodox Church in North America is in the middle of a worsening clergy crisis. Statistically enduring a deficit of over 100 priests per year, it is time to ask the Holy Spirit to actively recruit men who are willing to serve, suffer, and die for Christ to Holy Orders.
Candidates have a lot of questions.
This webinar is designed to answer them. We will cover topics like,
- Serving in Holy Orders, minor and major,
- Expectations, reasonable, unreasonable, and unreal,
- Canonical Impediments,
- Discernment: understanding the process,
- Education and preparation,
- Formation – the hidden deficit,
- Jurisdictional considerations,
- And more
This webinar is sponsored by the GreatMartyr Euphemia Orthodox Theological Academy, an online theological school since 2018 with students in over 24 countries, and graduates ordained in almost every jurisdiction in America, and many abroad.
The webinar is free, but you must register to attend.
When: Jul 8, 2024 07:00 PM Arizona time

I sadly just missed this webinar (only found out about it just now, the day after it aired). Was it recorded? Or will there be a similar webinar in the future? I’m sorry I missed this and would love to re-watch and/or attend a future session if possible.
