Queen Peace Cover

Next Step #666 – March 11, 2021 – From sheep, to seeds, to chess, it’s about the metaphor/platform for the timeless Gospel message.  Lessons from Reclaim – faith in a post-pandemic world, on the first anniversary of the WHO proclamation. AGAPE love, found on Earth and at the last station stop. Pope Francis in Iraq and a meeting to bring Peace. Walking away from Bible study – not for the first world? Elevator rides beyond the 12th floor and the trip back down all in this episode.
“The Armenian Church is our queen. She’s omnidirectional and arguably the most powerful piece we have. One of our duty to protect and support her. Unfortunately, it is also the one piece that most of us have not used to her full potential.” – Dn. Christaphor Movsesian

Simply Innocent

/0 Comments/in

 

Next Step #663: The Armodoxy approach to Lent: Simplifying by the numbers. Rules and regulations that form society and stripping them down during Lent. Even a Bible must be paid for: the rules that govern a simple Bible Study. A collection of Riffs from Beethoven to Zeppelin. Childish vocabulary not needed: hear the Beatitudes before it got complicated.

Next Step #661: The murky waters of editorial privilege leaking into editorial license: how the Russian Orthodox bishop sold out the Christians. Also, how Christianity Today sold out their most valuable asset: the meaning of C. The relevance of Encyclopedia Britannica 1903 in 2021: Surprised what you’ll discover.

McKenzie and the Lonely People

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #660: Fr. McKenzie wipes his hands at the grave and who was saved? A look at funeral, death and ultimately life. Nothing morbid about this discussion, it’s about a healthy look (yes with tears!) at death. Sending the soul back to its maker with prayers and reflections – it’s an Armodox approach. No touching during the pandemic: And now the Lonely People. Entitlement and Salvation. Challenger Disaster, 35 years ago. The gen-gen generation.

To Dream 21

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #659: The inauguration of Joseph Biden is the backdrop for a discussion about inspiration and the power to dream. It’s the ground-work for mystery and the holistic approach to worship shared in Armodoxy. Up close and personal, Fr. Vazken passes along the inspiration that is far from a political event.

Profane on the Sacred

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #657: An assault on democracy and the attack on the US Capitol is examined by Fr. Vazken in a contrast between the sacred and the profane. Chipping away at the sacred. Punctuation: Women and men in written form. The nonsense of non-denominationalization: literal or symbolic, all is defendable. The flow and beauty of the prime numbers and prime factors. Once again: Dates and Calendars. The 2021 MLK Retreat: A virtual event.
