The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of the Nativity, the monaster-ies of the Holy Cross and St. Gerasimos Iordanitis: These shrines and holy places have stood for centuries and have been visited and venerated by millions of Christians, but they suffer now from neglect and disrepair. Our generation has been given the precious gift — but also the responsibility — of preserving them in spite of the tumult and upheaval of the world around them.

Just as natural elements and the world’s changing politics have had a detri-mental effect on these sacred shrines, likewise we have seen the world’s cor-rosive culture influence the Christian faith in America and around the world. Can we reverse the disastrous effect of godless teachings and bequeath fu-ture generations the faith of our Fathers? We believe we can, with your help.

Join Fr. Christopher to see the places where the Christian Church was founded and continues to inspire the world. Ask yourself what will the fate of the Church be in the next generation for my children and grand-children? The Orthodox Christian Network has been reaching Orthodox faithful and non-Orthodox seekers around the world, but we need to do more. We live in challenging times, but with the Orthodox Christian faith, we can move mountains and inspire the generations to come with a living and vibrant Church.
