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.

Disclaimer

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.

Parties. Parties! PARTIES!

HREE PARTIES Of note: with invites to two… and a request for help on the third (sorry, can’t do a general invite):
SUPERCRAWL
Hamilton’s monthly Art Crawl is becoming a SUPERCRAWL this month! This week, in fact. Supercrawl is Friday 9th October. Galleries, bands (including the Hidden Cameras!!!!) bars, food, charity. It’s all [...]

Local Paper in Violation

RTVOICE is the local “indie” rag. It’s exactly like every other local indie rag in every other city: you know, earnest stories, sex ads and “Real Astrology.” Where ArtVoice really excels, however – as Nate makes clear here – is in theft of other people’s artwork. Ironic given the paper’s name, no? [...]

More on the way!

Eye Roll

AD Theology will get me out of bed… direct quote from a local (Buffalo) lady on the radio this AM: “Because we’re Catholic and everyone goes to heaven when they die…”
So many things wrong with that sentence I had to stop listening to stupid people on the radio.

Ants!

VideyoSnap! – Huw and the Ants

Next on Mutual of Omaha’s “Wild Kingdom”: Ants. While Jim is out there wrestling Anacondas, we’ll stay here, close to home, watching the ants that live under the stoop eat my popcorn.
Thanks to my buddy, Nate…

GenX Ministry

IA THE Internet Yer Host learned of a U2charist being offered in Buffalo… and for a number of reasons, I spent the night imbibing Harpoon’s Hefeweizen beer and watching M*A*S*H instead.
What’s a U2charist? Quothe the wiki:
A U2Charist’ (also spelled eU2charist or U2 Eucharist) is a communion service, or Eucharist, accompanied by U2 songs in [...]

Work “Holiday”

Christ is Risen!

ODAY IS The quarterly Work Holiday at my housing co-op, my commune, my 14 Bedroom Mansion that I share with a bunch of the coolest folk in Buffalo. My gaol today is at least some pictures of this in action. Evidently I’m ripping up carpet today.
And sneezing, I think. There [...]

Sexto de Mayo

Christ is Risen!

HILE Most folks incorrectly think that Cinco de Mayo is either Mexican Independence Day or else a small town in the West of Ireland, for us here in Buffalo’s Historic Allentown district, it is the Annual Re-enactment of the Battle of Puebla, hosted by our own Cozumel Grill. The hosts play the [...]
