IT was the best celeb interview I've ever heard! I hope Fr. Andrew does a follow up with him now that he's EO, to see how he's doing, you know?that was awesome! I remember listening to his conversion on AFR.

Yeah, but I'm not crazy to hear the interviews of the other supposed Orthodox celebs. I really have not seen one as devout as Jonathan, other than Troy Palomalou (sp?). I'm sorry. I didn't mean that to sound so judgmental. I just think the other Orthodox celebs, with the exception of maybe Tom Hanks, don't seem very serious about their beliefs.I think that'd be awesome. do something like interviews with Orthodox celebrities like what Fr Josiah Trenhem is doing with all the bishops.

Maybe interviewing Orthodox Christian celebs would encourage more Orthodox Christians to start living their faith, especially those cradle Orthodox who were poorly catechized because they were sent to catechism where they were entertained and not really encouraged to attend Divine Liturgy.
Yes, it's believed the prayers of all monks and nuns around the world are sustaining the earth. St. Silouan has said that without their prayers, the earth would have perished a long time ago.At the end he mentions the monks on Mt. Athos and how their prayers sustain the world. I may have misheard but I think this was essentially what he said. Is this standard Orthodox belief?
If the above is accurate it implies that the world would be in a much worse state than it currently is without such prayers. Why is it that the prayers of monks make things better? What are they fighting against?
Back in the late 1990's, hubby and I watched a video called, if I remember correctly, Greek Americans. And Orthodoxy was brought up in that because of the faith being mixed with and in the cultural aspect of Greek tradition and such. George Stephanopolous and Billy Zane were in it. I can't remember who else.Maybe interviewing Orthodox Christian celebs would encourage more Orthodox Christians to start living their faith, especially those cradle Orthodox who were poorly catechized because they were sent to catechism where they were entertained and not really encouraged to attend Divine Liturgy.

I think we need to do a push to get Samuel L. Jackson to convert to Orthodoxy!
