Tom,

You find the most interesting things. Thanks for this.

I know that the US Dept of Justice has produced a nice series of films aimed at educating law enforcement personnel regarding various cultures - particularly those which are experiencing high immigration rates. A lot of those are available on YouTube.

I'm curious as to whether this video (the first I've seen directed at educating police officers regarding a faith) is part of a series by the CPD's Chaplain Unit. (I did a quick YouTube search and didn't find any others, but this particular one was uploaded by an Orthodox YouTube user, not by the CPD, so that isn't surprising.)

Many years,

Neil

Thank you for your kind remarks.

Over the years since I started my retirement, I have found and subscribed to various internet religious topic search services. Google is one. I don't remember how I enrolled; but when I get an email from them, I will share insructions for signing up with members of the Byzantine Forum.
