Next Step #612: A first look at some natural intelligence that comes from the time of birth and is lost by the time we start practicing Lent. Lesson for Lent from my 3 month-old grandson.

Not for the faint at heart or for the easily dizzied. Building a church and not finding a loan? Here are some secrets from the inner ranks.

Evolving to 97.5

Next Step #609: After the impeachment trial in the US and our drift from Globalism. Church and State is blurred in Orthodoxy as we deal with Church and Ethnicity. A Handmaid’s Tale: Possibilities from Sci-fi to reality. Fr. Vazken speaks candidly about the dilemma facing the Armenian Church in particular and ‘Ethnic’ churches in general as churches celebrate nationalism. A loss for globalism and interrelations. Evolution happens: changes to body temperature is a new reading of Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter”. Annual Superbowl reflection: 1/2 a minute is MORE than the budget of all the Armenian Churches and traveling at the speed of light.
