The Face of God film

The Face of God Film, produced by The Orthodox Fellowship of the Transfiguration,  written and directed by Fr Kaleeg Hainsworth, and featuring St John in the Wilderness, was released world-wide on January 6th, 2021 and is a great way to get a sense of us. The Face of God Film website describes this as “a film about God and nature, faith and climate change and the experience of Orthodox communities around the world facing and experiencing changes in their lives now”… and that the film “is showcasing some of our most important Church voices, highest ranking hierarchs, scientists, politicians, lay leaders, theologians, and communities around the world and gathering the witness of the whole church on the defining issue of our time.”
