Civilizations and the Kingdom – A Call for Prayer
Read more: Civilizations and the Kingdom – A Call for PrayerThis reprint (with changes) seems fitting for America’s Independence Day celebrations this weekend. I give thanks to God that priests are forbidden (by canon law) to hold political office – not that I would ever be elected – but that I would never want to stand in the place where my Christian faith was so […]

Rightly Reading
Read more: Rightly ReadingThis is a reprint from last October. The course of your reading should be parallel to the aim of your way of life…. Most books that contain instructions in doctrine are not useful for purification. The reading of many diverse books brings distraction of mind down on you. Know, then, that not every book that […]

You Are Not A Bible Character
Read more: You Are Not A Bible CharacterEvents which receive more than their share of news coverage are not my favorite topics for blog posts. However, this past week’s revelations of yet another politician’s infidelity offered one aspect worthy of comment (or so it seems to me).

Calvinism As Heresy
Read more: Calvinism As HeresyMet. Jonah of the OCA today addressed a group of conservative Anglicans. In the course of outlining what would be necessary for true ecumenical dialog and union, he stated, “the renunciation of Calvinism as a heresy.” This probably came as a surprise to many of the evangelical Anglicans in the audience. Appended here is the […]

Not in Vain and Not by Chance
Read more: Not in Vain and Not by ChanceNot in vain and not by chance Was life granted me by God And not without God’s hidden will Has it been condemned to death. I myself through willful power Summoned evil from the dark abyss And my soul I filled with passion, Stirring up my mind with doubts. Remember Him whom I’d forgotten Pierce […]

Read more: A Sacrifice of Emptiness – the Fullness of Life in ChristConversation this past week on this site has centered around mercy and justice and the understanding of the sacrifice of Christ. I began with an article on a quote by St. Isaac of Syria, who famously questions the human concept of justice and its relation to God. The Christian treatment of the atonement – what […]
