With God’s help, and lots of hard work over the summer, I am happy to announce a wide range of new programs now available for viewing on OLTVWEB, our first phase for the implementation of an Eastern Christian Television Network. I announced the new website some weeks ago, and our strategic plan for a TV network just recently.

The website continues to grow with new Overview programs, Liturgies and Plenaries from past Orientale Lumen Conferences, and video that I personally shot during the visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew in Constantinople last November — called the “Papal Journey 2006”.

The programs now available to watch include the following (each program is divided into multiple 8-10 minute clips for easy viewing — you can watch one or two and then come back to the program at a later time and watch the remaining clips without having to start over again):
