Wisdom for the day – Metropolitian Kallistos Ware

March 29, 2014

To me, the most important missionary witness that we have is the Divine Liturgy, the Eucharistic worship of the Orthodox Church.

This is the life-giving source from which everything else proceeds. And therefore, to those who show an interest in Orthodoxy, I say, “Come and see. Come to the liturgy.”

The first thing is that they should have an experience of Orthodoxy—or for that matter, of Christianity—as a worshiping community.

We start from prayer, not from an abstract ideology, not from moral rules, but from a living link with Christ expressed through prayer.”
