Orthodox Preaching as the Oral Icon of Christ by James Kenneth Hamrick explores how Orthodox preaching, rooted in sacred traditions, serves as an “oral icon” that brings listeners into the presence of Christ, transforming lives through vivid, sacred storytelling.

In Orthodox Preaching as the Oral Icon of Christ, Father James Kenneth Hamrick delves into the unique power of Orthodox preaching to act as an “oral icon” of Christ’s presence.
