A:A Podcasts – The Orthodox Church in Arkansas, Faith in the People’s Republic (UPDATED)

 

 

So, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is, there are a few hiccups in here from technical difficulties being resolved on the fly. Creates some awkward pauses and stumbling in delivery at the beginning. The good news is, Father Nicholas Verdaris of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Little Rock, AR is an excellent partner for a podcast. Listen in as we talk about Orthodox history, the makeup of the Orthodox community in Little Rock and the oh-so-famous Greek Food Festival that is coming up this weekend in Little Rock.

 

Two for the price of one! We follow up on Father Nicholas’ podcast by hopping over to the other side of the world. Frank Huang, a student currently enrolled at the University of Central Arkansas, talks with us about religion in the People’s Republic of China from his hometown of Changchun, Jilin. We talk about the the variety of faith in China, the personal nature of it and ways the People’s Republic has worked to accept other faiths.
