Episode Summary

The Christmas season is upon us, and iEcclesia is celebrating with two holiday specials! In our first show, new host Patricia Rakopoulos speaks with our panel about a topic that usually comes up during the Christmas season: Philanthropy. In the Gospels, we hear of Christ’s love for humanity with His miracles, His preaching and His forgiving humanity of their sins. As we are called to emulate His love, philanthropy is more than just donating loose change; rather, it’s about being like Christ and making a difference in the world He created.
