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.

I am a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church in America (ROCIA). We are growing a Mission community here in Buffalo.

    this place looks vaguely familiar . . . . is there an Episcopal church within sight of it?

      Not that I noticed. For all I know it may have been a former ECUSAn place. There’s a mention about the community buying the building.

      Comments after returning from liturgy: very diverse community – many races and clearly many “former Orthodoxies”. Very interesting icons (I’ll take pictures next time) with LOTS of text on them. The music and liturgy was standard OCA – Diocese of NY, which is a little different from OCA in CA or Canada. I knew the music so I sang along without a booklet. A decent sermon (about the Angels). My only complaint was that it was entirely possible to be ignored during coffee hour – including when asking about the garbage can. But even that was balanced by the amazing content! The Orthodox DO know how to eat after LIturgy :)

      I sent Father an email after I got home.
