Principal Principles

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #568: Sri Lanka Easter massacre and the concept of a “holy and mighty” God. Reflections on a principal with principles: Gabriel Injejikian (1930-2019). Einstein’s theory of insanity explained in scientific terms. April 24 explained in terms of physics, Easter explained by experience. A special post-Easter; post Genocide-commemoration edition of the Next Step. Leveraging Love 10 years later, still hopeful. Christ has risen from the dead!

Where’d everyone go?

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #512: A mid-Holy Week tally of who’s who and what’s what. What happened to the thousands of friends who ushered Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and left him alone for his death only four days later? Don’t wait for Easter to be April fooled! Singling out Pilate – no Judas here – in a second-creed puts Easter in the history book and out of the connection book. Heading out to Utah to celebrate Easter and the Holy Divine Liturgy, Fr. Vazken shares a very special resurrection message.

A Tear and a Smile

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #462: The Easter Edition – A journey through Holy Week as only Fr. Vazken can provide. Music and metaphors taking you from the tear Jesus wept at Lazarus’ grave, through the Passion, Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Connecting the dots of our lives today with the events in Jerusalem circa 33.
Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization. -Victor Hugo

Logical Proof

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #408: What the early Apostolic Church tells us about the Resurrection. Post Resurrection and post Easter ties: Looking beyond faith to logic to explain the illogical. A miracle happens when an autistic boy jumps from his seat in the church. A quick trip to SF and Ken’s back from Cuba – getting prepared to drive the long distance.

When did we blow it?

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #406: Meditations at Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion and on St. Patrick’s day begs the question: When did we lose sight of the goals? Justifying without checks and balances and legitimizing absurd decisions and expenses in the Church. Blow ups: Easter eggs and peeps. The poor and the suffering in the shadows of the church today: do they differ from those in Jesus’ shadow 2000 years ago? The impossibility of internal evaluation in the Church with the risk of damaging institutional-preservation. This is a pre-Holy week meditation for the Church and each individual believer.

Profoundly True Reconciliation

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #307 – April 24, 2014

Reconciling the message “Christ is Resurrected” with the reality of Genocide that comes today. Glendale is a ghost town this day, and the trappings of the Church made for some frustration that Fr. Vazken shares with the listeners in this episode. Listen in to a Holy Week and Genocide Commemoration that offer so much more for Christian identity in the 21st century.

Post Easter Focus Adjustment

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #96 – April 8, 2010

A Post-Easter walk around the Armenian Church locally, and the Christian Church globally. Making the Good News of the Empty Tomb a way of life. Correcting our outlook with a focus on the intention of what Easter and our faith is all about. More possibilities of a virtual church as In His Shoes goes to the Southern Hemisphere.

Arise from the Dark into the Light

/0 Comments/in /by

 

Next Step #45 – April 15, 2009

The Easter message continues as Resurrection finds its way out of Jerusalem to each heart. Warren Goodman is granted parole and a new Gregory Beylerian artwork gets a “Rise” in the midst of our doubt. April 15 – Tax Day in the US, but no matter where you’re listening, those taxes are bothersome, until you get a new look at a familiar problem. No need to juggle God and money, your checkbook is probably the only thing that requires these acrobatics. Jew, Christian and Muslim – where does faith intersect for them? Hratch’s Global Perspective will surprise you. And a crackpot for the Bubbles from Ani.
