Orthodox Form, Orthodox Substance
Posted in Orthodoxy on Thursday, 17 April 2008 | 10 Comments »
[Note: This is a response to a comment from my Orthodox brother, Gabe, on my "How to Not be Very Orthodox" video. I thought I'd make a post for it so the discussion might continue here--if anyone wishes to do so.]
Gabe:
Well, brother, one of the dangers of satire is that the point will be missed [...]
Great Podcast from Kevin Allen and The Illumined Heart
Posted in Great and Holy Lent, Orthodoxy on Thursday, 10 April 2008 | 2 Comments »
[All the sarcasm from the previous post aside . . . ]
Kevin conducts an interview, Pascha and Personal Experience (mp3 file), with His Grace Bishop JOSEPH, Bishop of the Antiochian Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the West. It is a great interview.
Some quotes from His Grace on which to reflect:
The greatest of these [personal] experiences [...]

More Orthodox Than Thou (A Protestant Convert to Orthodoxy Rant)
Posted in Great and Holy Lent, Orthodoxy, Politics on Tuesday, 8 April 2008 | 20 Comments »
At the risk of engaging the passions–not a good thing to do at any time, let alone Great and Holy Lent–I want to take on this notion going around the Protestant-convert-to-Orthodoxy blogosphere in which Protestant converts to Orthodoxy are criticizing fellow Protestant converts to Orthodoxy about things such converts are doing that just aren’t Orthodox [...]

Great and Holy Lent 2008
Posted in Great and Holy Lent, Orthodoxy, Prayer on Monday, 10 March 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today marks my first Lent as an Orthodox Christian. I am already finding the experience qualitatively different than any of the previous five Lents which I’ve traversed as I made my way into the Orthodox Church. It is, in all ways except for the bodily, far more difficult than anything I’ve ever [...]

The Dead Ends of Protestantism
Posted in Orthodoxy on Tuesday, 15 January 2008 | 15 Comments »
On a message board for former church of Christ (Restoration Movement) converts to Orthodoxy, a thread was started by those who wondered about ever having doubts about Orthodoxy. I gave the following reply, which I want to explore a bit more in this post:
For myself, when it comes to the Orthodox Church, I have [...]
Reflections on St. Gregory’s Dialogue VI
Posted in Orthodoxy, Reflections on St. Gregory Palamas' Dialogue, Theology on Sunday, 13 January 2008 | 3 Comments »
[Previous reflections, including a brief historical context, are to be found here.]
These are the reflections of someone particularly ignorant about such deep matters, let alone of this specific Church Father. There are others who are much more knowledgeable than me. What I will attempt with these reflections is to bring together the deep [...]

On Sorrow and Joy
Posted in Orthodoxy on Tuesday, 18 December 2007 | 1 Comment »
In a comment to a previous post, one Jonathon commented, in part:
I think the message his [St. Gregory of Nyssa's] poetry conveys is that while the joy and hope of Christ should and can be very much a part of our life “here below,” it is not the only experience we should expect (being, as [...]
The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Posted in Orthodoxy, Theology on Saturday, 15 December 2007 | 3 Comments »
Gabe has two posts up that are being linked in the Ortho-blogosphere: Problems in Contemporary Orthodox Theology? and Problems with Contemporary Orthodox Experientialism. They are well worth your read. Also worth your read are Perry’s comments. Though I’m afraid that this is two sets of Orthodox folk talking past one another, [...]
On Fear and Joy
Posted in Dailyness and My Life, Orthodoxy on Monday, 10 December 2007 | 3 Comments »
And Father Seraphim continued: “When the Spirit of God comes down to man and overshadows him with the fullness of His inspiration, then the human soul overflows with unspeakable joy, for the Spirit of God fills with joy whatever He touches. This is that joy of which the Lord speaks in His Gospel: A woman [...]
