Fr Tadros Malaty begins a new series that focuses on Patrology which explores the lives, biographies and stories of the Church Fathers and the work of the Holy Spirit within them in the early church. 

Patrology is the study of the Fathers of the Church, whereby the word is derived from the Latin word 'Pater' meaning 'Father'.  

Fr Tadros Malaty conveys 3 fundamental elements required to understand Patrology: 
1. The lives and biographies of the Fathers 
2. The acts of the Fathers through their writings and homilies 
3. The thoughts of the Fathers through their circumstances 

Ultimately, when we study Patrology, we not only study the works of the Fathers. Rather, we:

1. Become in touch with all different kinds of theology. 
2. Recognise the heretics and their claims, and what impact this had on Church belief systems.
3. Understand the role of the laymen, children, women, and young people in the Church.

Join us in listening to this enlightening sermon on the early church and stay tuned for more parts to this incredible series!

Patrology I, Part 1: Introduction

Upper Room Media is a ministry of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Its mission is to bring the word of God from a timeless faith into your hearts and mind anywhere at anytime.

The Orthodox Church worships God in continuity with the earliest Church, and as such is the oldest Church. It is a Church of balance: between the mystical and the tangible; between spirituality and theology; between the worship of God and service to humanity. Everything is in balance, otherwise known as right worship, which means Orthodox. It is not a denomination, but rather pre-denominational. It is not a religion but rather a life with God in Christ. 

The Orthodox Church worships God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and dynamically incarnates that truth in every age - empowering all people from all walks of life to love God, others, and themselves.
