SCOBA hierarchs designate January 17 as “Share the Light Sunday”
His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, is among the hierarchs of the Standing Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas [SCOBA] calling upon the faithful to support the Orthodox Christian Network [OCN] on January 17, 2010, which they designated “Share the Light Sunday.”
In conjunction with “Share the Light Sunday,” the SCOBA hierarchs released a statement, the text of which may be found at www.myocn.net, in which they encourage the faithful across North America to offer their prayerful and financial support for OCN’s ongoing and ever-expanding ministry.
OCN, a pan-Orthodox, SCOBA-sponsored media ministry, “uses the power of the radio and the internet to present Orthodox Christianity to mainstream America—to reach out to everyone, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, with a message that is engaging, accessible, and Christ-centered,” according to Priest Chris Metropoulos, OCN executive director. Its many podcasts and programs, including the widely acclaimed “Come Receive the Light” and other invaluable offerings, may be found by logging on to http://www.myocn.net.
