We already noticed how the use of AI chatbots is having direct negative consequences on the faith and spiritual life of Orthodox Christians.

We make our choices today, thereby influencing the choices of our children. Christian education is a choice for which they will thank us for eternity. What is good and what is bad? Vladimir Mayakovsky asked this question in a poem that all children in the Soviet Union knew by heart at the beginning of the […]
