In this short sermon, His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, speaks to us about martyrdom, the saints, and what it means to live a saintly life.
Message from His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, during a prayer service in the Order of the British Empire Chapel in St Paul's Cathedral. The prayers were for those suffering religious persecution, and the service was held on the same day that His Grace received an OBE for ‘Services to International Religious Freedom’ from Her Majesty The Queen.
In the last part of this 'Martyrdom Today' series, His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, speaks about the faithful witness of Daniel and how we too can learn to be convicted in our Christian Faith in facing challenges on a daily basis, and living our true identity in and through our Lord Jesus Christ.
In this talk His Grace Bishop Angaelos speaks about the challenges we face on a daily basis, explaining that if we choose to live a faithful Christian life we will face persecution on some level, but that we should never fall into a state of victim-hood, using the three saintly youth in the book of Daniel in the Bible as an example of that.
