Ft.Lauderdale(April 4) – Orthodox Christian Network is joining in  on the growing phenomenon of “podcasting”.

 

Almost 22 million Americans own MP3 players like the  Apple IPod and over 6 million of them have downloaded and listened to programs  using their players. (April 2005, Pew Internet & American Life Project)That  is why a growing number of media producers are making their radio programs  available for these MP3 players on their web sites. Just like the VCR and TiVo  have changed the viewing habits of TV watchers, so the ability to have your  favorite radio program available to you whenever you want will change the way  people listen to radio.

 

OCN now makes the premier Orthodox Christian radio  program, Come Receive The Light, available for download to an MP3 player. This  means that a listener can now download the weekly Orthodox Christian radio  program and then share that program with others. Rev. Dr. Christopher  Metropulos, founder and executive director of OCN, states “One of our primary  goals is to share joy, hope, and salvation in Jesus Christ with our young  people, especially college students leaving home for the first time. We want  them to stay connected to the Church and one of the best ways to do this is to  use the technology they are already using to keep them focused on Christ while  they are away from home.”

 

82 million Americans have used the internet for  spiritual and religious purposes, and the use of “podcasting” is a natural  extension to syndicate media programming to this growing audience of religious  seekers.

 

Listeners can go to the Come Receive The Light web  site at www.receive.org and click on the  Podcast and RSS feed sections of the menu. From there you will have all the  information you need to download the weekly program, the weekly newsletter, and  a daily Orthodox devotional from Dynamis to your handheld device or your  computer.You will need a special computer  program to read this download, but there are a few suggested places to get this  program on the web site.

 

OCN is committed to making the voice of Orthodox  Christianity heard in America. It is a religious perspective that will enrich and  enhance the culture and faith of this nation.

 

Come  Receive TheLightis  the flagship radio program of Orthodox Christian Network (OCN) and is dedicated  to spreading joy, hope and salvation in Jesus Christ while exploring Orthodox  Christianity in contemporary society.

 

Orthodox Christian Networks is headquartered in  Ft.  Lauderdale,  Floridaand is a commissioned agency of SCOBA (The Standing  Conference of Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the  Americas) and a member of the National Religious  Broadcasters. Visit us at www.receive.org.
