To Dream 21

Next Step #659: The inauguration of Joseph Biden is the backdrop for a discussion about inspiration and the power to dream. It’s the ground-work for mystery and the holistic approach to worship shared in Armodoxy. Up close and personal, Fr. Vazken passes along the inspiration that is far from a political event.

Profane on the Sacred

Next Step #657: An assault on democracy and the attack on the US Capitol is examined by Fr. Vazken in a contrast between the sacred and the profane. Chipping away at the sacred. Punctuation: Women and men in written form. The nonsense of non-denominationalization: literal or symbolic, all is defendable. The flow and beauty of the prime numbers and prime factors. Once again: Dates and Calendars. The 2021 MLK Retreat: A virtual event.

Peace through Hell

Next Step #405: Jesus preaching in Hell? (I Peter 3) An Armodoxy Revelation finds the answers in prayers by St. Nersess Shnorhali. Also in this episode: the Seven Hours of worship in the church. The democratic nature of the church: How conducive is the church structure to creativity and expression. Canons and rules for the Church in exile and under oppression.
