This just came to me today from St. Vladimir's Seminary. I will assume that just about everybody in the parish has either read or listened to Fr. Thomas Hopko at some point in time, and that includes our newly-baptized/chrismated members, present catechumens and inquirers. For Fr. Hopko's four volume set on Orthodox Christianity has been required reading in our Catechetical Class for years now.
Today we remember Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko (March 28, 1939–March 18, 2015), our beloved former dean and profoundly gifted priest, theologian, preacher, and speaker.
Members of the St. Vladimir's Seminary community, led by Archpriest Alexander Rentel and Dean Dr. Ionuț-Alexandru Tudorie, will conduct memorial prayers this week at the graves of Fr. Thomas and Matushka Anne at the Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Transfiguration in Ellwood City, PA.
May the memories of Fr. Thomas and Matushka Anne be eternal!
Unfortunately, the purple bars above obscure the link's title of each of them. For clarity: the first link is to The Life of Fr. Thomas Hopko; the second to Books & Audio; the third to Sermons and Lectures; and the fourth to Podcasts.
I discourage "Internet Orthodoxy," but one exception is certainly Fr. Thomas Hopko. He is not only "safe" and guaranteed not to mislead any genuine inquirer; but he will proclaim Orthodox Christianity with great vibrancy, inspiration and insight. So, you may want to avail yourselves of some of what is offered here as we seek to grow toward the full stature of Christ.
