Just to sum it all up: (if you don’t want to read the three essays below) faith has nothing to do with a checklist of items in which one believes as a child believes in Santa Claus. We know someone’s faith not by what they say… but by what they do. If they [...]

I’m reprinting three essays as part of the “Fear/Faith/Love” Discussion started by Father Peter.
Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me, says the Lord, [...]

Your trust has saved you; go in peace.
Luke 7:50
This verse contains two of my favourite biblical words.
πιστις (pistis)
σωζω (sozo)
The meaning is what’s on the table tho… in my Complete Jewish Bible rendering of this verse pistis comes out at “trust” and [...]

But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”… When he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
Mark 5:36,39

TitusOneNine discovers that Eastern Orthodoxy isn’t the sort of pious, ecclesial monolith that causes conservative Anglicans to get moist. I only wish all the clergy who think like Fr Peter would speak up. But I wish many things like that. Eh. In God’s time.
T19 missed the point of the original post - [...]

My friend, Linda Strohmeier (Memory Eternal!), a priest and sometime ECUSAs evangelism officer, once wrote a piece called “The Religion of the Waspe”. Sadly, it seems to be missing from the web, but you can imagine what it was about (Despite the psuedonymn of the tribe). Basically, using the language of a 19th [...]

Imagine if Christians could engage in non-judgement the way Jesus told us to.
We acknowledge our need of God’s forgiveness for the sins and failings which harm our shared witness in the world.

Word reaches us from two very reliable sources of events, post Sunday of Orthodoxy (a day celebrating unity in the Eastern Rites), which would - if widely known - take some of the pressure off the Episcopalians.
In the Jurisdiction war, an Orthodox bishop in one American city has ordered his clergy not to [...]

An important Anglican discussion going out on the web, some parallel news reaches us from Orthoblogoslavia and I’m left amused at the Church.

We’ve got worship straight out of Heaven, we’ve got married priests, we’ve got small churches and smaller churches, we’ve got gay liturgophiles and total nutjob charismatics. It’s [...]

Just so you know the kind of people conservative Episcopalians are sleeping with these days:
Twelve mosques and 300 houses went up in flames. Young girls were marched to a nearby Christian town and forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. Many were raped, and 50 were killed…
