Father John Hainsworth of All Saints, Victoria BC, has for some time been producing his Paradosis: Studies in Living Tradition  podcast series for Ancient Faith Radio.

These talks are recorded as they are given to his parishioners and inquirers, centering on an Orthodox view of varied cultural and theological topics.

Also from All Saints parish in Victoria, Bev. Cooke this summer published a new book with Conciliar Press. Royal Monastic: Princess Ileana of Romania (The Story of Mother Alexandra) was released this past summer. While researching the book, Bev spent some time at the monastery founded by Princess Ileana/Mother Alexandra,  Holy Transfiguration in Ellwood City. There Bev was able to access documents and talk to the nuns who had known and loved this founder of Orthodox women’s monasticism in North America.  Bev’s article about this experience appears online at the Conciliar Press site, as well as in the Fall 2008 issue of The Handmaiden Journal. The book may be purchased from Conciliar or on amazon.com.

Also on Ancient Faith Radio, Archpriest Lawrence Farley of St. Herman’s, Surrey BC, recently began a podcast series. Dubbed the “Coffee Cup Commentaries”, these daily podcasts are ten minute meditations on Scripture for the busy listener. Like Fr. John’s Paradosis series, they can be heard when they are broadcast on the Ancient Faith talk schedule, or accessed at the archive page at any time.
