Authority of Service

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #386: “The only authority is the authority of service, the only power is the power of the Cross” says Pope Francis to the Chaldean Synod. The usual is still unusual. A discussion on humility and the problems it presents in the world today. Readings from John 13, Philippians 2, and Nersess Shnorhali’s Aysor Anjar. In His Shoes and Armodoxy find a voice in the hurting world. Examples from the Last Supper and the Fool and his barns.

Millennials today: Always being ON: Forget about the Youth “being the future” – yesterday was McFly’s day in the future – 10/21/2015 and the Future of the Church transcends time! Good News: the Equal Opportunity expression of Christ. Fr. Vazken connects the dots between them all.
