Fr. Ted Paraskevopoulos: Living with Faith in a Growing Secular Society

Fr. Ted Paraskevopoulos is an Orthodox Priest in Toronto, Ontario Canada.Speaking with Fr Ted is always very insightful and grounding, to say the least. Given everything that’s  happening in the world right now, I felt a need to have a conversation with him.We spoke about a wide-range of topics, including:- Tools that people are missing in their lives to help with depression and every day stresses- How parents should instil the right values in their children - Why more couples are getting divorced, and how they can prevent that- The attack on religion in a growing secular societyI also wanted to hear Fr Ted’s views on several controversial bills and legislation currently in, or being proposed, in Canada:- Bill C-11 and how it could impact the church and religion- Bill 89 and the growing sexualization of children in society- The issues with Bill C-4 from a religious and moral context- MAID (medical assistance in dying) and the relation to hedonism
