Here comes Hope & the Sun

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #563: Vernal Equinox: Here comes the Sun, here comes hope: Sunrise service. Tragedy in New Zealand: Sacred and the Profane. Raw thoughts about fear, hope and changing our expressions in the age of terror. Words of caution on hypocrisy. What happened to down-time during Lent? Disney, Fox and the Star Wars ride. Asking Prager, really? Modern day Phariseeism.

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #536: Commemorating 911 in Manhattan: Fr. Daniel Findikyan’s 911 Message of hope, love and light. Midweek preparing for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Fr. Vazken finds some gems in the Empire State. West meets East in NY with the “Salt Lady” and the Khoren of the Khorenian Badarak. Prayers for the priest: Asdvadz Oknagan or Orhnya? Just get on with it. Is Armonk short for Armenian Monk? Or are all Armenian monk’s short. MENSA puzzle with the Sharagans.

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #293 – January 16, 2014

A candid conversation with Dr. Hratch Tchilingirian about the church, relevancy and focusing on the basics – faith, hope and love. Tchilingirian shares insights from experiences in London as well as from a life in the Armenian Church. Filtering out the “noise,” the quest for meaning, and the soldier/army metaphor are part of this discussion. Also – some thoughts on Martin Luther King Jr., as a minister of the Gospel.

Holy Week Edition, looking at our Lenten Journey, culminating with the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Tribute to Jesus Christ Superstar at age 40 – how the questions are just as important as the answers. Abp. Tiran’s admonition to not discount reason. The Jehovah’s Witness target the Armenian community in Los Angeles. Here arises our challenge to REACT to the EMPTY TOMB by making Easter a celebration of Faith, Hope and Love alive in our lives every day. No April Fools jokes today!

Christmas Eve: Finding Hope in the Manger

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #81 – December 24, 2009

The Christmas Eve Edition – Looking and finding hope in the manger. Why “In His Shoes” is a way of life and how “respect” is the predecessor of love. The Christ child is a revelation of faith, hope and love – concisely placed in the manger for us all. Why January 6? Why December 25? And then finding Christ beyond the manger. Reflections of the newly deceased Fr. Kourken Mouradian – from Khorvirab to Glendale.
