COVID-19 and the government’s handling of the pandemic has had a major impact on Orthodox Christians and the Church.  From church closures to face mask mandates, there have been no shortage of issues that have arisen as a result of the Coronavirus. 

We examine some of these polarizing issues that Orthodox Christians have debated for the past year and a half.  We take a look at how well the Church has handled the pandemic and what the long term implications will be as it relates to some of these godless innovations and heresies that have entered some churches in various communities.

We also further discuss the Coronavirus v------ and its impact on Orthodox Christians.
