Should Orthodox Christians LOVE or HATE the World? Compromise, Polemic & Engagement

It's kind of an insane world out there these days. So how should Orthodox Christians respond to it, not just online but in daily life? Here I give my philosophy for how that should work, using a key principle from the Church Fathers -- the soteriological motive. I mention Oration 41 of St. Gregory the Theologian in this video, especially ch. 8. You can read it here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/310241.htm In this video I mention the Pažaislis icon of the Theotokos in Lithuania, which you can learn about, along with lots of other stuff related to Orthodox adoption/adaptation of non-Orthodox elements, at this conversation I had with @JonathanPageau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g581wgmpvTk -- QUESTIONS ABOUT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY / HELP FINDING A PARISH: https://www.orthodoxintro.org/ MORE INFO ON ME: http://andrewstephendamick.com MY BOOKS: https://store.ancientfaith.com/fr-andrew-stephen-damick/ BOOK ME FOR YOUR EVENT: See email in channel description.
