In this second episode of “The Black American Orthodox Experience” (season 2), a collaboration of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Orthodox Christian Network, Rev. Samuel Davis discusses with Orthodox Convert Athanasius Williams about life, marriage and scripture in the church. Athanasius opens up about his experiences as an Army Chaplain and a covert to the faith. He reveals what he learned in the Pentecostal Church that prepared him to find Orthodoxy, the role of scripture in the church, and a personal project reflecting on the theology and spiritual role of marriage.
The Black American Orthodox Experience is a program focused on Orthodox missions in America—insights, challenges, and how we can reach (and are reaching) members of Black, Indigenous, and other communities with the Church of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to feature honest and informative conversations about what the Great Commission looks like in modern America within a historical and cultural context.
