Random Thoughts …

Listening to NPR on the way home the other day … Why is it always things like “the holy city of Najaf” … and rarely “the holy city of Jerusalem” … “the holy city of Rome” … “the holy city of Sitka” … etc?

New Jersey Governor resigns because he’s gay and had an affair? Gosh, thanks to all the other news of late, that sounds so 9/10.

The Wall Street Journal ran a piece today (8/12) on the rift developing within the movement toward Russian Orthodox unity. The article states that Bishop Gabriel of Manhattan is opposed to union. However, contrary to the opinion of the WSJ reporter, in my experience those who strongly agree with that position are more likely to be zealous converts than “White Russians.”

“Orthodoxy in DIXIE” still has legs

I wrote that article almost two years ago, while still in the Russian Church Abroad. It’s funny how some things just spring forth and run … Go Forest! Run, Forest, Run!

Almost shameless self promotion: The Orthodox Christian Radio program, Come Receive the Light, will be airing an interview with me on Saturday, August 21st. I say “almost shameless” because, having done a couple interviews with CRTL a while back, I’m not absolutely sure which one will be airing. It may be a repeat of the “Orthodoxy in DIXIE” interview. The other interview was about American Converts and their pastoral issues. I refer to that one as “One Flew Over the Onion Dome.” [Apologies to the Onion Dome.]

The Feast of the Dormition (Falling Asleep) of the Mother of God is just days away for those of us on the “new calendar.” Our brothers and sisters on the “old calendar” are just preparing for the Fast. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Lord be merciful to us and save us!
