Crossless Protest

 

Crossless Protest
Next Step #510 – March 15, 2018 – Protests against gun violence in the modern era of social media and convenience (read no inconvenience, read no cross). Social media gone awry, cf. Supermarket Tabloids. Apostolic Brothers Thaddeus & Thomas today: Meeting with the Indian Orthodox community and the loss of the Cross at MidLent. More on Pingo. Digitizing 30+years of media and the future for Armodoxy.

Bubble Wrap

Next Step #465: The Message of the Cross is not an easy one, but a necessary message to follow. In an interview with Dr. Yvette Hovsepian Bearce, she passionately talks about unity, vision and escaping comfort levels to follow Christ and the Gospel. Genocide commemoration as metaphors for the larger issues of refugees and care. The Koranic Jesus, learning from the past to define the future and more. A bit from the National Day of Prayer in Los Angeles.

Generation 1: Filling Emptiness

Next Step #101 – May 13, 2010

On this Ascension, Fr. Vazken takes listeners on a journey from the foot of the Cross, where an expression of Motherhood fills the emptiness of life with faith. Filling the emptiness as did Generation #1 – when they did God’s work: making something from nothing! Happy Mothers’ Day, to our mothers+. Want to name your child? Some suggestions too.
Music: “Mayrigis” performed by Mariam Matossian (www.mariammatossian.com)

Cross Section Too

 

Next Step #14 – September 17, 2008

There’s a difference between the crosses that we must bear and tolerate – the crosses we’re given – and the crosses that Jesus talks about, the ones He tells us to pick up and follow. The way of this cross is the cross of sacrifice and humility. And in picking up this cross, we accept the responsibility towards our family, our community, and our world. Fr. Vazken takes up and probes this dimension of the cross; the meaning in our lives comes from a life lived for others. What is the power and importance of the cross in our lives?

Musical selection is “Emmanuel Calling” from Credo’s album, The Rock Opera of the Greatest Story.
