New Talk by Bp Gerasim of Ft Worth: 'Fr Seraphim Rose: Truth and Legend' - UPDATED 050223


In this recent talk, Bishop Gerasim (Eliel) discusses Fr Seraphim Rose in the context of the times in which he lived, wrote and served the Orthodox Church. Vladyka Gerasim provides helpful insights into how some of Fr Seraphim's books were written and why, and also briefly discusses the process of glorification of a saint in the Orthodox Church, which begins organically, on the local level.

UPDATE May 2, 2023: The original podcast recording seems to have been deleted from the podcast channel feed. However, I did find it on YouTube, and am embedding it immediately below.
