Father Alexey Uminsky announces a new subscription-based project titled "Reading Books with Fr. Alexey," where he shares conversations about authors and books that have shaped his spiritual life. The inaugural episode focuses on the journals of Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann, a prominent 20th-century Orthodox theologian. Fr. Alexey reflects on questions such as why fiction can sometimes reveal more about God than theological treatises, and what the Japanese monk-poet Taneda Santoka wrote about.
The project is available on YouTube, Telegram, and Boosty, with a promotional discount for early subscribers. Fr. Alexey invites viewers to join him in exploring literature that inspires faith, including poetry, music, and stories. He also provides links to his other content, such as conversations on the Liturgy and walking meditations.
The initiative aims to foster deeper engagement with Christian thought through literary reflection.
