Sign & Dome

March 1, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

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.

Expelling the Laugh Track

February 22, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #507: Expulsion Sunday is the backdrop of this episode as Fr. Vazken looks at the myth of Eden and the power of politicians and law makers, with attention paid to the placement of the laugh-track. Waking up with inspiration, motivating ourselves in face of violence, Florida and more. Jesus fulfilling the laws of the universe, beyond the Moses stories. And the “prime of equal proportion.” Practical Lenten practices as prescribed in Scripture: a look at Matthew 5 & 6.

Necessary Steps

February 15, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #506: Reclaiming the Christian narrative as a preface to relevance and thereby bringing about change. Acknowledging/Disowning Jesus (Matthew 10:32-3) is not a jump to judgement. Video recording Jesus for context: 1000 days not recorded. Some real rules for Lent. Before getting another Xmas: Valentine and Presentation (Diaruntarch) pointing to One who is Greater. The Post, The First Amendment and Reclaim.

The Apology Defense

February 8, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #505: Vartanantz Edition. The outcome of worry and the tiring mind. Four Sisters of Mary, Apologies for God and the great mysteries that have perplexed humankind since the beginning of time meet together as Fr. Vazken connects dots in a most unusual manner. Defending God, is not as clear as the way of St. Vartan. The clouds of heaven and the wings of the angels are part of the mix too.

A-maze-ing Midwinter Coffee

February 1, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #504: Midwinter/Candlemas come together over a cup of coffee and a reading. Just back from Vancouver and energized by the cold temperatures and the wonderful people, Fr. Vazken connects some important dots between Groundhogs, the Lunar Eclipse, Superbowl and an exhibit of a-maze-ing men, both in Vancouver and in Armenia. An action-packed episode. A formula for Religion based on Laughter? “May this sculpture inspire laughter, playfulness, and joy in all who experience it.”

A Tale of Two Letters

January 19, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

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.

Kodak Moment No More

January 4, 2018/0 Comments/in The Next Step

Next Step #500: The New Year kicks off with a look at one of the giants that didn’t make it to 2018. Unable to adapt and slow to accept changes, Kodak presents a prophetic picture as the Spirit of the Future. Fr. Vazken talks about the church, the challenges to the community of believers and a Darwinian understanding of survival. Commitment to the disenfranchised and the circle of Christian understanding.
