Orthodox Christians regard salvation as a process of deepening identification with God’s presence in our lives.  Orthodox practice encourages us to regard our soul as a vital aspect of ourselves, as whole human beings, to be cared for, developed, and listened to. By becoming in tune with our spirit, and by balancing the aspects of our being: soul, spirit, and body, we are able to maintain harmony with the Holy Spirit as the guide of our lives.  We are created to be united intimately with Christ. How can we establish an intimate relationship with Christ so as to hear Him speaking with our spirit? How, while immersed in our secular worlds, can we develop this intimacy?  This lecture explores these questions and the Orthodox concept of salvation.
