BOOKSTORE NEWS
THE FAITH is the title of a book by Clark Carlton worth reading and will be featured at the bookstore in the month of April. This text is about understanding Orthodox Christianity. Easter has brought us much inspiration and renewal. This book is an excellent tool to build upon our love for the church by educating ourselves to better understand why we attend each Sunday. We can also educate others by sharing what we have learned or giving them a copy of this book, which is written in simple language for anyone to pick up and read. We are so fortunate, after all, as Carlton states, "The Orthodox Church of today does not imitate [the] original Christian community; She is that community."
