ALKING INTO Ingles last Sunday with Fr Brent, we were discussing the way that some people (the present author included) worry that loosening the grip on one part of traditional Christianity - eg sex - can lead to a loosening of the grip on other parts. I was adamant about that for a while [...]

I forget who it is… there’s a monastery out in the Southwest, I think? Well, someplace. They paint icons. They are, I think, not a Roman Catholic monastery, or, maybe, not “officially” so: perhaps Sedevacantist? Or maybe just “Old Catholic” Episcopi Vagante? Don’t know. Anyway, they paint icons - [...]

What is Grace? It seems right to ask this on St Anselm’s day.
Interesting talk with Mother Sarah and Nathan… who is now Fr Nathan… but ok. Anyway, we were talking about Grace at Coffee Hour yesterday. And, while I don’t remember how the topic arose, at some point it dawned on [...]

CBC reported this afternoon that the entire phone call accusing the polygamists in Texas may have been a hoax. Evidently there is a woman in jail in Colorado for giving false information to authorities.
But the Judge is still keeping the sect’s children behind bars.
You know.
For genetic testing.

Since moving to Buffalo, I’ve had the time - and the sleeping schedule - to rededicate myself to trying to pray on a regular basis.
I love the Western Offices - I’ve been using my Monastic Diurnal. The tradition of reciting large parts of the psalms every day is wonderfully edifying. But [...]

So, lets take all the essays in this series:
Intro
Can a hand say to a foot
Fear
Faith 1
Faith 2
Faith 3
Faith 4 (a summation of the three)
Love
I spent the most time on “Faith” because that’s what seems to be making the big stumbling block: some people, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic (and some Anglicans, too) seem to think that [...]

COntinuing the Discussion with Fr Peter and Fr Greg, here’s my thoughts on AGAPE. This is the third term in the Eucharistic Invite in the Eastern Liturgy:
In Fear of God, with Faith and Love, draw near!
Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one, and [...]

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, [...]
