Relevancy for Ethnic Christianity

May 2, 2013/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #256 – May 2, 2013

The Latino Reformation (Time Magazine) and lessons for Orthodoxy. The ethnic experience – when a minority is the majority-minority, issues of inferiority surface in many ways. Young students (UCSB-ASA) and politics as usual – when they quote MLK and Gandhi without remembering Jesus, a part of the message is lost. Editing: making the Church relevant.

Six City Walk Against Genocide

April 25, 2013/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #255 – April 25, 2013

Walking through 6 cities* to the Armenian Genocide Martyrs’ Monument – It’s a walk “In His Shoes” – It’s a change of perspective. Keeping identity in the aftermath of Genocide. The scorecard on the “Combined” Divine Liturgy – Diocese, Prelacy, Protestants and Catholics – who’s who and what’s what? Was this Liturgy a spiritual awakening? Or another political ploy to get the “troops” in line? Fr. Vazken gives his perspective. The “God Generation” – they came after the Genocide. A book introduction – “Nowhere, a Story of Exile.”
*Six cities – Pasadena, San Marino, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Monterey Park, Montebello.

Unraveling and Weaving God & Chaos

April 18, 2013/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #254 – April 18, 2013

Finding God in the chaos. Fr. Vazken unravels the events of the week, which included the worst of the worst – domestic violence, terrorism and Genocide – and even finds God as the antithesis of chaos. Don’t be afraid to point him out, he says. Datev Outreach, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the screening of Bared Maronian’s “Orphans of the Genocide” are woven together in this interesting journey from chaos to order. It is a mystery and it is deep.

Accenting vs. Breaking Christian Stereotypes

April 11, 2013/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #253 – April 11, 2013

Returning from a lively conversation with Stepan Partamian at GCC, Fr. Vazken reflects on Christianity today, as applied in society. Ethnic identity via the church? Breaking the stereotypes of the Church and Christianity. More topics: The cornerstone of Armodoxy is to look beyond Biblical mythology. Talking about birth control to a people who have experienced Genocide? Case in point: Rwanda. Non violent resistance and disciplining the masses. Case in point: Armenia. The different perspectives of religion; the Holistic approach to God via Armodoxy. Much more…

Next Step #249 – March 14, 2013

From the white smoke a tweet signals the election of Pope Francis and opening the doors of the fourth estate. Fr. Vazken refects on this election, the Pope, Orthodoxy and the Catholicism.
