Next Step #638: As the political atmosphere heats up with elections two months away, religion, particularly Christianity, comes into question as politicians justify actions and policy with a wide variety of departures on theology. Fr. Vazken offers a primer on politics and the use of religion, finding the grey matter between the black and white, conservative and liberal. Qualifying politicians by the Christian scale: the plasticity of the faith to conform to the world and an Armodoxy look.

Next Step #628: Twelve years to the date of our first WEEKLY podcast: Recommitting to the ministry that brought us here. Cautions against the new fanaticism in the guise of religion – justifying hatred in the name of God. Warning: May induce vomiting.

Next Step #587: Celebrating the individuals who walk to the beat of Thoreau’s drummer. Not waiting until death to appreciate the beauty people offer our world. Packaging religion and hatred: more than a word of caution, a challenge to reject. Tolerance and understanding today. Bizarre revelation: Trumpeter or con? Creative astrology.
