Start Sweating: It’s NOT all small Stuff

August 23, 2012/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step 220 – August 23, 2012

In this Next Step, Fr. Vazken challenges the notion that “it’s all small stuff” by pointing to the disastrous consequence of such thinking: a church that has lost relevance. Abp. Shnork’s example of the bridge that is too beautiful to cross is used as a metaphor for many traditional (read Orthodox) churches that have become breeding grounds quality picnics, dinners and Bingo, while losing the sense of Mission, the Gospel of Hope and the Path to Resurrection.
