Thanks for the information, Prav and "Despot"-!
Very helpful.
I recommend anybody to take a look through Fr Steven's Messages in the Archive at that site.

[A few I don't care for.] But most are wonderful for any person even of any religion to read.
For example:

"... Every kind of idiotic attachment and fanatical devotion to things of this world is accepted - one can be a pro football devotee, a Hollywood film buff, a health nut; one can devote thousands of dollars and every spare hour to playing tennis, taking eco-tours to see the whales, or going to rock concerts - and no one says anything, except, "Hey, that's cool." But dare to breathe one word of ...objection to blasphemy or worldliness, and one is instantly branded a "fundamentalist"...
St. Michael the Archangel... We must pray to him frequently to come to our aid in the daily circumstances of our lives, to enlighten our minds and help us acquire a pure and strict way of thinking about our daily choices and actions, so that we can avoid offending God by our worldliness, lukewarmness, spiritual carelessness, and lack of piety. We must beg for the angelic protection against all the snares and seductions of the present world, which are growing stronger every day, and which threaten to snuff out entirely the flame of love for God and His glory, which are the true purpose of our life on earth and our way to Paradise."

Neither email works from what I heard.
Maybe Fr Steven doesn't want to be contacted or he would update his website - ?

Hope he can do more of these lectures, it would help.
Or, though not in the usual ways of Orthodox, he should debate some of these hard-core MP-ROCORs in an open format; if videotaped and put on youtube it could edify and strengthen the stances of conservative Orthodox around the world.

Greek, Serbian and Russian subtitles could be added to versions. Audiences in these countries would be far more receptive than here in North America.
It's the core of an idea to be refined. Maybe some other format would work better.
