Dear Faithful Readers,
Please follow the link to a new faith-based tour company I am beginning tomorrow on the Feast of St. Botolph, Old Style. Won’t post there as often as I do here, but please pass along the word for those of you who might travel to our fair city and want a tour. It would be my greatest pleasure.
For those of you not quite in the loop, Downton Abbey on PBS, shot in England by the BBC is a terrific television series. Season 3 premiered last Sunday and is running every Sunday on your local PBS station. Watch it!
Hello faithful readers… Wanted to let you know about a new paper I uploaded to my Academia page about a year in the life of an Orthodox Church my family and I attend. Would love to know what you think.
Today we celebrate simultaneously the birthday of my father-in-law and the anniversary of the day he first met his future wife and our baba so many years ago. I hear a toast this evening at dinner that I have never heard before: “Here’s to finding or discovering a path/road for our life.” (za zheezin na darogu in Russian) Continue reading
Yeah! Had my first official PAID tour of Boston’s Religious Heritage today. I am excited for what the future may bring with this blog and my tour company which I hope to found. For now, I just want to promote myself and get some more paying customers. May God grant the increase!
I listened today to an encouraging podcast on Ancient Faith Radio about Wheaton College’s inauguration of an Early Christian Studies program. I realize this is somewhat old news to some of you, but this podcast really made me think anew of the significance of this and how it points to a general trend among Evangelicals of turning to the Fathers to help them interpret the Bible.
This is how I and many others became Orthodox. I am so pleased to hear of this movement on an institutional level. Personally, I think it is through the prayers of C.S. Lewis, the patron saint of Evangelicals. May it continue…
Thanks for hanging in there with me, everyone. I have finally posted all of the reflections from the Sochi trip. Am presently in our Moscow apartment enjoying the recovery from such a wonderful time on the Black Sea. Had some posts that were more like rants, so I decided to pitch them. I feel like there is plenty of negative material on the internet, and not enough positive culture building.
Hope you enjoy this and all the future posts.
Like Mendicant Monks...
