A convert to Jesus Christ from Judaism, Fr. James was a teenage chess champion whose dramatic conversion experience at the age of 16 led him to the Christ, and is also one of the founders of ‘Jews For Jesus’. His journey led him directly to the Orthodox Christian faith, and his journey is recounted in his book ‘Surprised By Christ’, the story of a man searching for the truth and unable to rest until he finds it. Fr James has served as presbyter at St Paul Church in Brier, WA.

1. The Jewish Roots of Orthodox Christian Worship
SHARE this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fr-james-bernstein — LINKS for all our podcasts: https://anchor.fm/orthodox-christian-teaching — A HOMILY of Fr James Bernstein at St Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — ‘Jews for Jesus’ co-founder James Bernstein speaks on ‘The Roots of Jewish Christian Worship’. Fr James was a key figure, leaving New York with Moishe Rosen for the San Fransisco Bay area in 1970, to start a new mission outreach for Jews. James had a jacket embroidered with ‘Jews for Jesus’ and this is where Moishe obtained the iconic name. A number of the early co-founders started to educate themselves on Christian history and the early Church. In time, they left the Protestant Messianic movement to be joined to the Holy Orthodox Church, where he found the majority of all Judaic roots of Christian worship still alive and being practised today in Orthodox Christian worship.
