On behalf of the Assembly of Bishops Committee for Youth and our jurisdictional youth directors, His Grace Bishop Thomas of the Diocese of Oakland, and Metropolitan Gregory of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the USA, have announced that “Year of the Youth” video testimonies by our youth are now being posted. These youth videos, produced by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States, will be entitled ‘Youth Witnessing to the Faith” and will celebrate our youth by providing them an opportunity to voice their witness to our faith.
These short videos describe what our youth love about God, their faith, and His Church. Our objectives for the videos are to highlight how our youth serve the Lord as full members of the Body of Christ, and how they have been uplifted by Christ’s Church and His ministries.
As these videos are released, we humbly ask that you share the videos with all who would be interested or would be moved by them. The videos will be posted to the Assembly of Bishop’s social media account. Additionally, any youth that would like to participate in this effort can be directed to the Year of the Youth website.
Thank you and we remain,
Yours in Christ,
+Bishop THOMAS
Metropolitan GREGORY
