In the modern world, we are exposed to many cultural ideologies, technology, arts, media, and even lifestyles.

Additionally, culture is preserved through our church communities and the traditions.

Discover how culture has been preserved within the Orthodox Church for over 2000 years. In this episode, Katherine explains how culture and our faith are connected, and how ethnic culture influences our worship.
