Metropolitan Augoustinos of Florina tells us about signs of faith in a faithless world:

Amid all the coldness that transforms people’s hearts into snowballs, there are still sparks—burning coals and hearths of spiritual life in the modern world. Wherever a child stammers a quick prayer through innocent lips; wherever a boy or girl actively listens to catechetical lessons and sings joyous songs to the resurrected Lord…wherever there is a mighty battle against the dark powers…wherever there are holy pulsations; wherever hearts are warmed in reading the Scriptures—there are the sparks, the blazing coals, the spiritual hearth, the living Church.

"A wonderful resource to understand the Orthodox Church. Though Evangelical, I have a profound respect for the Orthodox Church and her believers. Many enlightening programs have given me an inkling of a bigger faith; I don’t always agree, but you all have great stuff."
