## Resource

UFOs are Rebel Angels. In this episode, we read Father Seraphim Rose's "classic" text, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, about the true nature of UFOs and the nefarious origins of modern narratives about extraterrestrials, spaceships, what's "out there" in the universe, and so on. What do Christians have to say to a culture that is awash with UFO sightings and prolifically promises to "reveal the truth about UFOS"? SHOW NOTES: Fr.
