Congratulations for the eloquent & informative lecture. St. Gregorios Palamás' emerged from the conflict of Hesychasts (Ησυχαστών) within the orthodox church & monastic community of the XIV century. Perhaps St. Gregory P. was one of the most cultivated & active members of the clergy of those times,able to confront heresy. His exemplary deeds, to appease the religious crisis & debate about the Hesychasm, made him a major figure of the medieval city of Thessaloniki. Thus, the city's cathedral was named after St. Gregorios Palamás in order to honour him equally, as the city's patron & protector, St. Demetrios.
I would like to propose to all Orthodox visitors from Balkan countries, Eastern Europe and all compatriots of the diaspora from U.S.A, Canada,Australia,N. Zealand e.t.c,among others, while in Thessaloniki,not to forget to visit 5 orthodox byzantine churches of great interest: 1.St. Demetrius' Cathedral(his origins dated from V century), 2. The basilica of "Taxiàrhes"(VIII cen.), 3. St. George's roman Rotonda (III cent), 4. St. Sophia (VIII-IXcent) and 5. the cathedral of St. Gregorios Palamás, the residence of the Diocese of Thessaloniki.
I am a big sinner. But strange may be, I feel in my bone when someone speake absolutely 100% truth. Take care listen to this men because after hearing this there is no excuse.
I have watched a few presentations of Orthodoxy by Fr. Heers and I always learn something important about Orthodoxy and our relationship to God. Also, about distinctions in the way Catholics and Orthodox think about and practice Christianity and achieve union with God. Although it is there in Catholic theology, it is very much obscured. Orthodox Christianity makes this essential truth of Christianity much clearer.
Very beautiful and true, God bless you father. It is so important today to insist on the fact that salvation of our souls is only possible in Christ, and that the Church of Christ, His mystical Body, is the Orthodox Church. This is only a "prerequisite", indeed, but so many today just pass by it and never even open the very doors of the Mystery of the Church. I recommend strongly to read our holy father among the saints Justin Popović of Ćelije on this subject (though I am not sure it has been translated into English yet).

Was there a limit of 1 hour to upload to UA-cam? It felt slightly edited possibly. I wish could have heard some Q and A But outside this, this was very good words on Saint Gregory, and used his teachings from the triads well to connect to us and today
Fr., bless! What would be a good way to learn about the 8th and 9th Ecumenical Councils? I see they are on Orthodoxwiki, which says that not everyone considers them to be Ecumenical Councils. But that's not the best source.
This lecture was extremely edifying. My only complaint is I wish people attending these lectures were a little more courteous and not bring young children along. The constant talking of the children in the background is a bit distracting.
I agree. Very happy we have children and new life in the Church, but a little courtesy to those that want to be able to listen, never hurts 👶👵🏼👴🏻🧔🏻👱♀️
"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14 I'm first to fail, but a Christian should strive not to complain. Father didn't forbid the kids and parents from there.
There is no better way to begin the day, than by listening to words that impart life to our souls! Dear Fr. Peter, thank you with my whole heart!
Well said Ivy!
These are the kinds of words that aren't spoken enough today, even within the Church itself. What a joy to hear. Thank you Fr. Peter.
I feel the same...I cannot get enough of this kind of spirtual talk
This is what all our priest should sound like. Passionate for the truth.
AMIN
I open up UA-cam everyday eagerly looking for a new video from The Orthodox Ethos!
A true blessing!
Blessing dear father, I pray all is well with you. Please do not disappear.
Glory to God for these words

Thank you Father Peter. I will be dwelling on this and trying to digest it for days, weeks, months and years.
Yes. Lord Jesus the Christ have mercy, have mercy, have mercy.
I love St Gregory! Thank you father! Keep fighting the good fight! ❤️🌎👑🥇
That was a good strong year for the Orthodox Church when these Lectures were going on!!!

Thank you for sharing and teaching God's wisdom and passion with us- I never heard that aestheticism is love!!!
May we have your blessings, Father Peter ☦️
such life giving affirmations, just what I need today
Be ever valiant for the truth and God will elevate you, thus he will through you elevate us. For the sake of the church please stand firm.
This is a very helpful and excellent lecture, thank you!
Absolutely wonderful lecture

It’s good to be Orthodox. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

If your church isn’t crying then it’s dying - glory to God there are Christians still having children in these dark days.
Anglo Niall Agreed.
