Episode 23 - Keepings Kids in the Orthodox Faith

Madona and I pick Shereen Marcus’s brain for ways to keep Coptic kids in the faith while living immersed in Western culture. She shares with us her five-pronged approach to raising kids in the faith.

Shereen is a U.S. federal judge who holds a masters degree in Orthodox Theology. Her book An Immigrant Church No Longer and her dissertation explore the transformation of youth ministry as the Coptic Orthodox Church becomes more established in North America.

Shereen also writes and publishes a fully fleshed out curriculum for teens which you can find at Bridges to Orthodoxy. Madona helps with proofreading and edits, and I have helped in the past with graphic design!
