4. The new Interactives Section should be a quick way to determine which interactives have been indexed to appear in the Guides. However, with 150 psalm entries .... in short, one needs a realistic pericope for the interactives Section to provide useful information.  Clicking on an interactive will open it in a new tab.

5. The is a case where Verbum will offer a Bookstore section, however, I get no results to share.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
