TODAY: Come Receive the Light

My interview with Come Receive the Light is available today and, I believe, this whole week by clicking their site (in the margin).

I bumped into a couple comments about my book, One Flew Over the Onion Dome (also available in the margin), recently on the Net:

I‘ve just finished reading “One Flew Over the Onion Dome- American Orthodox Converts, Retreads & Reverts” by Fr. Joseph David Huneycutt.

I found it hilarious, but that’s not the only reason why I am recommending it. I found it an insightful book which would be of benefit not only to clergy but both “converts” and “cradles” as a first step toward understanding each other. The book also points out some of the pitfalls both “converts” and “cradles” fall into, and how to manage them.

Our Orthodox faith is drawing the spiritually seeking people of this nation. This is a trend that will only increase. It isn’t going away and it isn’t something we will be able to stop. Thank God! God loves all people and He is drawing men and women to Himself from every ethnic background, even average Americans who really don’t know what their ethnic backgrounds are anyway. Orthodoxy is becoming part of the fabric of America, and we rejoice in this exciting time to be alive and serving His Church.

Still, this growth and influx of converts is going to cause some real trauma for those who are not ready for it. That’s why I hope you’ll order the new book by Fr. Joseph Huneycutt called “One Flew Over the Onion Dome” published by Regina Orthodox Press. In this book, Fr. Huneycutt talks about converts, reverts (Orthodox who’ve left the faith and come back), and retreads (Protestant clergy who have converted and then entered the Orthodox clergy). He does a good job in spurring on the necessary conversation between us “newbies” and the folks who’ve been here all their lives.
