How to Run the Way Boxset - Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies

4 DVDs & 1 Audio CD. The CD contains everything necessary to present 'The Way' (the name first given to the Christian faith) to a twenty-first century audience. Prepared by the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge under episcopal guidance, this is the most ancient version of Christian belief in its most challenging modern guise. All of the twelve talks that introduce central aspects of Christian faith are included together with their accompanying visual aids and an attractive student handout that summarises each address. For those who would prefer not to deliver the talks themselves, the four accompanying DVDs present the original speakers. Supporting material offers a wealth of instruction on the basic principles behind the course and how best to run it: advice on publicity, preparation and finance, on how to set up a venue and ensure a weekly support-structure: on group discussions and how to lead them, on how to run the question-and-answer sessions, on how to cater for the initial meal that opens each session and how to organise a final celebration. 'The Way' has been presented with success to audiences in the United Kingdom, North America, Australia and the Far East, and is in process of being translated for use in Romania, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It sets out the ancient faith for a new generation, in a mode that is as suitable for parish or cathedral use as for the individual enquirer.

"We warmly congratulate the Institute on this magnificent resource, which will not only enable the spirituality and teaching of the Orthodox Church to be better known in the UK, now that increasingly its role in Christian life and mission alongside other Churches here is integral to the endeavours and discipleship of all, but it will also be of great value to the deepening and sharing of the faith when used in other Christian traditions." - Father Mark Woodruff, Society of St John Chrysostom, to Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, Report October 2010-10-26
