Fr. Daniel Findikyan Interview

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #521: The newly elected Primate of the Armenian Church, Eastern Diocese, Very Rev. Fr. Daniel Findikyan talks about the challenges before him. In this interview with Fr. Vazken, Fr. Daniel shares his thoughts and insights about the Armenian Church and specifically in the historic American diocese. “It is now time for the Church to be the Church… We have the opportunity and the obligation to be what the Church has uniquely been called to be… To fulfill that mission which has been given uniquely to the Church of the Armenians and to no one else. We need to focus our mission on that which is exclusive and is the exclusive God-given prerogative of the Body of Christ among the Armenian people.” Unique guidance as unique as a primate from the Lone-Star state.

Sign & Dome

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #508: Prelude to the Reclaim Conference (2018) looks at a form of learn and introspection. The unlikely pairing of two icons, a sign and a dome beg the question: what is there to reclaim? Something lost? Something forgotten? Here is a run down of what to expect at the conference and in life. A lenten journey with tentacles that reach out.

Next Step #448: Theophany Eve edition. Syncing with God’s Cosmic calendar. Looking inside the manger to become an image in an icon and delivering better gifts than frankincense, gold and myrrh. Armodoxy’s stand for the New Year and Fr. Vazken’s Christmas message. Water Blessing at Theophany – what happens when a Mayor gives her obligatory message and takes Christ out? Expected from a mayor but from a church? The possibility of Christianity without Christ – not a slow process.
