Find Your Telos: Discover What Orthodox Young Adults & Parishes Can Create Together
Find Your Telos: Discover What Orthodox Young Adults & Parishes Can Create Together is a crucial, previously missing puzzle piece that we've needed in Orthodox literature. "This is a hope-filled book--the hope that young adults have brought us over the last five years about our parish's potential." These are the opening words of the prologue of this book, which paints a picture of how to minister to young adults and equip them to then, themselves minister and bring their invaluable skills to the life of our churches. A must-read for clergy and laymen alike, young and old, for anyone who holds any investment in the future of our Orthodox parishes.
