Christ is Risen!


Be Poets of the Logos!

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh". This is the blog of a Southern Man (sojourning in Buffalo, NY) attempting to follow God in the way of Jesus.

NB: I'm currently on a "Blogging Sabbatical" to celebrate my 15th Year of online Journaling. While "Daily Tweets", the occasional review of a book, movie or eatery and Photo Blogging all continue, the daily posts have stopped until January 2011. All comments are currently in moderation.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.

God Forgives

THIS Encyclical letter from the Orthodox Church in America’s Synod of Bishops is pretty amazing for its candour and honesty – but not for its completeness. It focuses on the finances and not on the sex issues: and, lo, I think Institutional Orthodoxy is once again playing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.”

Recognizing our weakness, and our failures, the Holy Synod of Bishops bows low before the clergy and the faithful of the Church, and we ask forgiveness from you all. We are truly sorry that this could come to pass in the Church, and that this has happened under our supervision.

May God forgive us all.

But here’s to a little more honesty.
