Plastic: Molding Faith

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #638: As the political atmosphere heats up with elections two months away, religion, particularly Christianity, comes into question as politicians justify actions and policy with a wide variety of departures on theology. Fr. Vazken offers a primer on politics and the use of religion, finding the grey matter between the black and white, conservative and liberal. Qualifying politicians by the Christian scale: the plasticity of the faith to conform to the world and an Armodoxy look.

Finding Truth beyond the facts and accounting for time and place of evolution, e.g. The aim of Gospel messages. After Christ’s temptations and the last one – a revisit of the film, story and controversy. Jesus, Widows and Orphans: Not playing by the rules. Beirut and the Grapeblessing service.

Old Film

Next Step #635: 75 years after the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, almost to the date, an explosion in Beirut leaves scores dead, thousands injured and a quarter-million homeless. Fr. Vazken shares and confesses that the difference between the two events is not much. The metaphor: using old film to take pictures today. Christianity beyond the convention, and the decline of social evolution. Camus warning: Nausea
