Next Step with Fr. Vazken #719: In today’s podcast: Absurdity abounds with a question and the seeming answer. 2.5million refugees and thousands dead, on this fourth week of the War in Ukraine, people are justifying peace! Not just-war but just-peace: absurdity. Pope Francis calls up Kirill and says there is no holy war. Lessons not-learned: generations that will be affected after War. Here’s an Armodox look at what’s going on.

Evolving to 97.5

Next Step #609: After the impeachment trial in the US and our drift from Globalism. Church and State is blurred in Orthodoxy as we deal with Church and Ethnicity. A Handmaid’s Tale: Possibilities from Sci-fi to reality. Fr. Vazken speaks candidly about the dilemma facing the Armenian Church in particular and ‘Ethnic’ churches in general as churches celebrate nationalism. A loss for globalism and interrelations. Evolution happens: changes to body temperature is a new reading of Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter”. Annual Superbowl reflection: 1/2 a minute is MORE than the budget of all the Armenian Churches and traveling at the speed of light.

Vazken recounts an “order” that was given to him a quarter-of-a-century ago (Cupertino) and the blessing found among Oriental Orthodox Christians gathered in the Poconos.

A Tale of Two Letters

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #502: Two letters, one welcoming and the other excluding – both from clergy 50 years apart: progress is not in the making. Battery Recharge: Martin Luther King Retreat in review and the Letter from Birmingham Jail. Is it just a matter of “doing it”? Adapting Nike’s “Just Do It” to the faith community. Deaconness in the Armenian Church and the uproar by a pharisaic community within orthodoxy.

The Other Side of the Cafeteria

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #420: Pope Francis’ visit to Armenia begs the question why? Take this step of the “cafeteria” from the other side. Catholicism and Orthodoxy, or validation of the obvious? Fr. Vazken explores with two stories of “defrocked” weddings and sacraments. Pandora beware.

Next Step #309 – May 8, 2014

The perils of the ethnic Christian churches are explored as two Pontiffs, HH Karekin II & HH Francis meet and are tagged for history. The treasure of orthodoxy goes beyond the ethnic adjective affixed to the branch, but how? Fr. Vazken takes the listener on a journey to the roots of orthodoxy and ends up with the hybrid of yesterday and today, ethnicity and spirituality. Some definitive statements about Armodoxy are made herein. Also – if gambling isn’t evil, what’s all the fuss about?

White Smoke Tweets

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #249 – March 14, 2013

From the white smoke a tweet signals the election of Pope Francis and opening the doors of the fourth estate. Fr. Vazken refects on this election, the Pope, Orthodoxy and the Catholicism. Issues of social justice and the times ahead will be challenging. Spinning the Pope – News alert on the Pope and Armenian victimization. Toward the end of the Lenten season and the End of times – where to focus your attention. Final thoughts on living in the eternal present. The God question in cosmology. Why Armodoxy is necessary at this point. Pi Day, though its just an approximation, it’ll get better in 2 years. Sharing a book list.
