I read it with interest. In Berat, we have seen for years how some young Albanians return to church after simple videos on TikTok, but I did not think that the same thing is happening in America. I wonder if they will stick around after baptism or is it just a temporary fad.

Yes, Spiro, I have also seen some boys and girls in Berat who started with short videos and now regularly come to liturgy. I wonder if it helps for our priests to speak more openly on the networks, not just sermons on Sundays. What do you think, can we do something more in our local church?
