Cynthia enjoys another conversation with a fellow flyfishing guest, but we promise that they didn't talk about fishing this time! Social media is the topic today with Fr. Paul Jannakos. Why do we as Orthodox Christians need to guard ourselves and put boundaries in place when it comes to the internet in general? Is there a place for social media in our lives? As Fr. Paul says, “...from an Orthodox standpoint, we cannot help but to recognize how dangerously demeaning and dehumanizing our “internet use” has grown. We hope you enjoy this frank discussion and the tips that are shared. Fr. Paul Jannakos was born in E. St. Louis Ill. In September of 1976 he began his studies as a pre-theological student at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in NY, also taking courses at Concordia College/NY in Bronxville. In 1980 he graduated from Concordia College with a B.A. in Music. He graduated in 1983 with a M. Div. degree from St. Vladimir's and was married to Michelle (Julylia) Jannakos in Cleveland Ohio, the year before, in 1982. Fr. Paul was ordained to the holy priesthood on March 3rd, 1985 by Bishop Boris in Chicago at Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral. He is currently the Rector of St. Luke Orthodox Church in Palos Hills and the Chancellor of the Chicago diocese of the OCA. Fr. Paul is also a licensed Psychotherapist with Ethos Counseling in Oak Brook IL. He loves to compose music, garden, and fly-fish.
