Intro:

Hello and welcome to the Mystagogy podcast, offered as part of the Adult Faith Programs at Saint Stephen Martyr Church in Chesapeake, VA.

In a tradition dating back to the earliest centuries of Christianity, newly initiated believers were prepared for ongoing lives of faith through mystagogy, a period of formation designed to deepen their spiritual, liturgical and community life. Mystagogy is a Greek word which means "leading through the mysteries." 

This program has been developed by Barbara Nicolosi Harrington, a university professor of screenwriting, cinema, Great Books and theology. 

Today's episode is a discussion of Orthodoxy, one of G.K. Chesterton's most popular books. Our guest presenter is Dr. Michael Goodrich. Dr. Goodrich is a staff scientist in the Experimental Physics Computational group at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.  He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics and a Ph.D. in Computational Modeling, all from Old Dominion University.
