“Lexicon of Orthodoxy” of the Kinonia Portal: A Permanent Slot in the Morning Programme of the Radio of the Diocese of Bačka

Since the Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, October 1-14, 2024, the project entitled “Lexicon of Orthodoxy“ has been active on the Kinonia portal every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This initiative is prepared by students of Orthodox Catechism – Religious Education from several secondary schools, under the mentorship of their catechists. Thus far, more than one hundred contributions have been published within this series, with the aim of acquainting the contemporary man with the meaning of the terms employed in Orthodox Theology.

The editorial board of Radio-Beseda of the Diocese of Bačka recognized the significance of the “Lexicon of Orthodoxy”. Consequently, within the Morning Programme, a permanent slot has been established, wherein the audience of the diocesan radio is introduced to the content of this project of the Kinonia portal.

We extend our gratitude to the editorial board of Radio-Beseda of the Diocese of Bačka for this collaboration, placing our hope in the Lord that this form of missionary cooperation will be to the benefit and spiritual strengthening of all those who receive it.
