Webmaster's
note, 5/11/08: Since we first started
this page several years ago, there has been a dramatic
increase in the number of websites providing high quality
Orthodox-oriented audio, video, streaming internet
radio broadcasts, and especially the now ubiquitous
podcast. These are fast becoming a rich source of information
both for Orthodox Christians wishing to learn more
about their faith and for those who are discovering
the Orthodox Church for the first time. It should be
noted that much of this programming has originated not from
official church sources, but from committed members
of the Orthodox laity. As more of this programming
becomes available, we will support its growth by including
links to those programs and networks. Watch
our welcome
page and this page for more program links as
they become available.
Another webmaster note, March 4th,
2013:Many of the video materials
from GOTelecom and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
website have been copied to YouTube. One result of this
is that the videos are now available in higher quality
than was previously available online. The Archdiocese's
YouTube page can be accessed here,
and you can subscribe to the page. In addition, we will
on a regular basis feature one of the videos on our home
page. Just click the link to watch the featured
video.
OCN Ministry Overview Orthodox Christian Network (OCN), an agency of
SCOBA (Standing
Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas),
has been established to create a national, sustainable
and effective media witness for the Orthodox Christian
Church in North America. OCN produces high-quality programs and
media tools for local parishes that reach people for Christ 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Mission To strengthen the Orthodox communities of North America
and to share the timeless faith of Orthodoxy with the contemporary world
by using modern media: radio, the Internet, podcasts, DVDs, television
and more.
Our Vision To inspire the faithful everywhere; raise up our children;
call back the wayward; and reach beyond to our cities and towns with
the joyful, Christ-centered message of the Orthodox Christian Church.
OCN
produces Come
Receive the Light, a long-running syndicated Orthodox
program that can be heard on radio stations nationwide and over
the internet. OCN also operates three internet streaming radio
stations: The
Ark, offering contemporary Orthodox Christian music; The
Rudder, offering listeners the option of traditional Orthodox
Christian liturgical music; and The
Anchor, featuring Orthodox talk radio. For offline listening,
OCN offers podcasts of Come
Receive the Light and other programs produced exclusively
in podcast format. Podcasts may be downloaded free through iTunes or
directly from the OCN website. Finally, OCN recently joined in
a partnership with Icon
New Media Network (see below) to distribute Icon New Media's
programming to a wider audience.
Our Mission: Ancient Faith Radio seeks to deepen and enrich the faith of Orthodox Christians around the world with streaming audio programming and on-demand podcasts. We feature liturgical music from a variety of Orthodox traditions, as well as prayers, readings, lectures, and interviews.

Ancient Faith Radio is a pan-Orthodox ministry seeking to serve and support all jurisdictions with clear and concise expressions of the faith. Learn about the story of Ancient Faith Radio as told in this article in The Word magazine.
Ancient Faith Radio's programming schedule for AF Talk can be viewed here. Podcasts of Ancient Faith Radio's programming can be downloaded through iTunes or directly from AFR's website.
3. Icon New Media Network -- Again, we'll let them use internet multimedia to tell their story:
At the center of the Icon New Media Network, we believe that Orthodox Christianity is the future of American Spirituality.
Our desire is to introduce Orthodox Christianity to emergent, post-evangelical and non-Christian audiences. Through the use of new media (blogs, podcasts, video, etc.) we aim to create environments where Orthodox Christians and those interested in this radical ancient faith can converse about and collaborate on resources that lead to a fuller understanding of Christianity. This is done by providing places for people to gather and communicate both online and offline about the relevance and necessity of our 2000-year-old Church.
Icon New Media Network's flagship programs, Generation Orthodox and The Man in Black (but not Johnny Cash), can be visited from our welcome page as well as this page. Finally, Icon New Media Network recently joined in a partnership with the Orthodox Christian Network (see above) to distribute Icon New Media's content to a wider audience. Their first joint venture, Journeys to Orthodoxy, is an interview program in which converts to Orthodoxy discuss their conversion stories with Icon New Media creative director Jacob Lee. All audio programming is available in podcast form through iTunes or from the Icon New Media and OCN websites.
