Episode Synopsis

Beyond beautiful hymns and prayers, what else did worship involve for Basil of Caesarea? And what are some of the practical implications for those who confess the Nicene Creed? What do these lines of the Creed look like in the church and in the lives of its people? Joshua and Caleb further discuss Basil the Great and Gregory of Nazianzus's writings on the Holy Spirit and look at their implications on justice, the question of the subordination of the Spirit, and worship in the church.  To support those who made Passages, please consider donating to Mere Orthodoxy.
