C^2 at the Transfiguration

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #582: From E=mc^2 to the Divine Liturgy – the Peace of Christ being beyond understanding and words, is matched up against the constant speed of light in a manner only Fr. Vazken can. Here’s a connection of dots – a religious unified field theory – that brings it together; the scriptures of Transfiguration and astrophysics, lending to the discussion of mass/energy equivalence and why did you become a priest, Fr. V? More so, the gross and vulgar expressions of Vartavar in the light of the Light: grab a ticket to Magic Mountain. Laugh tracks and canned laughter – being told what’s funny, what’s not and what’s acceptable (a loaded word but only if from the church!)

Communication: Metaphor for Life

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #559: Communication breakdown and the Opportunity to explore and hope. From the Mars rover to the Pope’s visit to the United Arab Emirates, Fr. Vazken discusses the need for relevance in any relationship and entity, especially the Church. Twists and turns will take you for an interesting and thought provoking discussion about the limits of life when communications break down. Canadian Diocese communicates beyond themselves with “Diversity.” Jesus: the timeless communicator.

Kodak Moment No More

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #500: The New Year kicks off with a look at one of the giants that didn’t make it to 2018. Unable to adapt and slow to accept changes, Kodak presents a prophetic picture as the Spirit of the Future. Fr. Vazken talks about the church, the challenges to the community of believers and a Darwinian understanding of survival. Commitment to the disenfranchised and the circle of Christian understanding.
