    Thank you so much Father, this is inspiring to me :) I'm pretty fearful about sharing my new life in Christ and need to change

    wonderful! I like the way you sum up the indirect approach.... at some point they need to know why your life has changed.

    So why we orthodox christians do not dare to share gospel boldly as some other christians do. They do it in every place and they are persecuted for that even in west since west has began violent against christians who presch the gospel. But of we orthodox do not preach we are like silently accepting lgtb and other sins of men. We need to preach

      It is disobedient to God not to share the Gospel. I don't know why Orthodox generally don't know that.

      @@ArchimandritePhilip thank you father for the response. My priest told me that we dont share literature in streets nor go from door to door or anything actively like that. But why we dont do anything like that?? I mean prophets and apostoles and many saints did even more and they were killed for that. Shouldnt we follow their example?

      @@gabrielgabriel5177 We usually don't do that in Western countries because Western countries, America especially, have a history with weird, culty groups doing that, so it makes a lot of people tune you out immediately.

      @@ethanmcclain7570 but we dont do that almost no where. And if you mean jehowas withness and mormons they are very actively doing theyr heretical preaching not only in west but all around a world. I have lived years in one islamic country that has no church and believe me jehowas withness were actively doing their preaching also there. So if our orthodox church is only true church why dont we preach the true gospel???

      @@gabrielgabriel5177 I strongly feel we're too weak with our evangelism. The Church of Alexandria is doing great work in Africa, and many jurisdictions have great mission work going on in Latin America, but our witness in the West is lacking, and I want to see our bishops lead the way to stronger evangelism.
