On "The Way," an Introductory Course to the Orthodox Faith

The Way is the new course introducing the Orthodox Faith from the Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies. It draws on the elements of hospitality and human social relations in sharing the Christian faith used in the well known Evangelical programme, the Alpha Course. But it takes a distinctively Orthodox theological approach - for instance on the Liturgy and the sacraments, the Mother of God, the life and structure of the Church and human salvation - and this is integral to the course. The 12 weekly sessions consist of:
  • a meal together
  • a talk on a central aspect of Christian belief
  • free discussion in small groups
  • a question and answer session and panel discussion

  1. This is wonderful but I see nothing indicating whether Region 1 (U.S.A./Canada) copies are available or only Region 2 (U.K./Western Europe) or Region 0 (All Regions)?

  2. Update:
    Just received word the DVDs are not code locked so they should play on any computer or DVD player regardless of region. Excellent.
