Canons: More than an Admin Issue

/0 Comments/in ,

Next Step #776 – June 1, 2023 – Canon law brings order and avoids chaos in the church. What happens when laws are broken intentionally? Fr. Vazken discusses the recent incident of a non-canonical ordination and the grave consequences which are not limited to order, but extend to the spiritual welfare of the communicant, the community and the essences of the Apostolic Church. Here’s a play by play of what’s happening.

Expo Exploit

/0 Comments/in ,

Next Step #774 – May 11, 2023 – A young boy, age 20, dies as a “martyr” in Armenia and enters a news cycle with interest but no action. Armenia, more than a Jeopardy trivia question. Christian requirement to “do” by Jesus. Inhumanity to man, quickly forgotten as weapons of war are sold to those who continue genocide. News for what? Discovered: John 21:25 is not hyperbole! Exploiting in the Christian sense. AI in its earlier manifestations: Cheers and Archie Bunker paved the way?
