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.

For this talk about freedom, hope, liberty, advance… blah blah blah…
Innocent people are still being stopped at airports across [...]

The Background

HE BACKGROUND Image has changed from a solid colour to a very old background: I think I used it in 1999. The reason: someone just gave me a polo shirt that is a near-exact rendition of this background!

TEC Blogger Meme??

HIS MEME Is moving through the Presbyterian Blogs. It’s currently filling up my ecumenical/emergent RSS feed. It was started by the moderator of PC(USA), Bruce Reyes-Chow in his own blog. When your Primus Inter Pares gets her own blog, then you’re using the internet.
I know in the old days of ECUSA [...]

And….

E’RE BACK. I’m happily ensconced in Hamilton with a fully charged iBook Battery and blogging away – having just had some AMAZING falafel from Lulu’s. So I figured, after a week’s absence, why not top off the night with an even ten posts.
Ten posts in an hour and a half. I think [...]
