Love: A challenge to excellence

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #427: The passing of Blake Krikorian: From silence to learning the lesson of life and love. Olympic Gold – from the knob to the button, technology for split-second judgement of the “also-ran.”  St. Mary Asdvadzadzin, bearing Love in the face of a missing God. The tradition of grapeblessing – giving it all, to others and therefore God… the challenge of excellence. Changes at In His Shoes and the ministry.

Unplanned Silence

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #426: Failed test for the Church: planned silence in Armenia. A look at the virtues of silence: “Be still and know that I am God” writes the psalmist. “Unity in Essentials, Liberty in the secondary items and in all things, Love” from Augustine to Shnorhali and today, applying the formula. A commentary that leaves us wondering how to reconcile all the pieces.

Mess without Poetry

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #424: A look at the messiness of political situations and unrest in the world; answers on the spiritual plane in the absence of Church. Too little, too late… and not even a prayer?

Power Tools

/0 Comments/in

The Peter Trap

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #421: Missing the point: Peter sets up a tent for Christ, Armenians give the Pope an Ark and we remember Vardavar!… did something go unnoticed?  Reflections on the historic visit of Pope Francis to the First Christian Nation: An alarm clock and wake up call. The Papal Mass and distribution of Holy Communion: A personal confession and an understanding of distribution to Catholics and Orthodox. The successors of Sts. Peter and Thaddeus meet: it’s more than a Genocide remembrance. Finding Armodoxy today.

The Other Side of the Cafeteria

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #420: Pope Francis’ visit to Armenia begs the question why? Take this step of the “cafeteria” from the other side. Catholicism and Orthodoxy, or validation of the obvious? Fr. Vazken explores with two stories of “defrocked” weddings and sacraments. Pandora beware.

Sensitivity beyond Silence

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #419: We kick off our 9th year of broadcasting with a look at the desensitization process in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting. When a moment of silence turns into an expression of desensitization. The bestowing of “Dzayrakoyn Vartabed” ranks – some preliminary descriptors and the model for living as humanity. Fr. Vazken connects the dots twixt these events and more.

Pointers

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #418: Fr. Vazken points to a couple of examples of activism – one reactive another proactive – both worthy of attention and emulation. At UCSD a racist blurb demands reaction that goes beyond ethnic protectionism. In Van Nuys, a father is honored for life-long activism in the Church. Paths toward peace and becoming the instruments of that peace. The courteous side of atheism and more.
