Inspiring the Apathetic and Reaching Out to the Nones and Dones - Fr John Parker

Session by Fr John Parker, OCA Director of Missions and Evangelism, Pastor of Holy Ascension Orthodox Church, Charleston, SC, at the Missions Institute of Orthodoxy Christianity’s "Speaking to Secular America" Conference on October 30, 2015.
The Missions Institute of Orthodoxy Christianity’s "Speaking to Secular America" Conference was held at Hellenic College Holy Cross on October 28-30, 2015. Its aim was to explore how the Church is reaching out to the non-religious in our society in 21st century America.
The Missions Institute of Orthodox Christianity at Hellenic College Holy Cross promotes a vibrant mission consciousness, especially within our Orthodox Christian Theological Schools and Seminaries in the United States. Its primary focus is to instill an understanding of international cross-cultural missionary work. The Institute engenders a missions consciousness for the local setting through understanding evangelism and promoting participation and support for international and domestic cross-cultural missions.

As a done person myself, there are many reasons I am done. I am thinking of starting a series on WHY so many are nones and drones and why we don't want to be reached out to. I bet the nones and dones would love it if the religion's of the world finally understood the damage they have caused.
I am pretty sure most people are sick of the half baked apologies and the onslaught of greed, corruption, control and so much more. Even if you are a well meaning individual, it would go much further if religious ppl respected the individual relationships ppl either have, or choose not to have with their god.

As a recent Done, none of what you suggest sounds interesting.

Hey look, I found the village atheist! Let me guess, a Dawkins/Hitchens/Rationality Rules type fanboy? Luckily an atheist worldview is rationally unsustainable, so whether you regard what Parker says as 'interesting' or not is irrelevant
