There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead; when she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad she was horrid. — Mother Goose The Orthodox Church in the United States is somewhat like that apocryphal little girl of Mother Goose fame. […]

McCain vs Obama, third debate, Immediate post-debate thoughts
I have not put on immediate post-debate thoughts before except for the difference between some of my perceptions and the analysts. To my surprise, several of the analysts thought that this was the best debate. There was a clear and definite split among the analysists. And, the split was not Republican vs Democrat. But, most […]
McCain vs Obama, third debate, 70 minutes to end
Sen. McCain brought up a vote against partial-birth abortions by Sen. Obama. Interestingly enough, Sen. Obama commented that he was against partial-birth abortions, but voted present because the bill was badly written and there were already bills that took care of the problem. Sen. McCain has just brought up a good point that the famous […]
McCain vs Obama, third debate, 50 to 70 minutes
Signs of the time for the debate: My wife walked in and remained five minutes then walked out again and said she still did not want to hear the debates. And, the moderator is almost sighing as he goes on to another question because of his growing frustration. As NAFTA was being discussed, it appeared […]
McCain vs Obama, third debate, 30 to 50 minutes
Well, the first ten minutes were almost as complete a waste as the five minutes I saw of the first half hour. It was an unending set of attacks by Sen. McCain. He was smiling politely while insisting that the country needed to know why he associated with a terrorist. I note that he did […]
McCain vs Obama, third debate, first half hour
“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” As is usual, I missed much of the first half hour because the debate is on Bible Study night, and that is much more important to me. However, having caught the last five minutes of that half hour, I was so disgusted […]
Hellenists and Converts, oh my, part 02
Two men behaving badly have clearly exposed some of the arguments going on within the Orthodox Church in the USA, as I mentioned in part 01 of this post. At the same time, both of them have shown, almost crudely, the bad thinking and misunderstandings going on behind the arguments. So, let’s look at them […]
An interesting quote from the Greek Orthodox
I find the quote below to be both interesting and puzzling. Interesting in that it follows several previous statements that recognize that the Orthodox could accept the Bishop of Rome as “first among equals” and a symbol of unity. After all, I can quote you several pre-Schism Fathers from various parts of Christendom who clearly […]
Hellenists and Converts, oh my, part 01
I have seldom seen the Bible come to life as much as I have in the last month as I have read two articles, one by a priest and one by a layman, that exemplify the great disputes going on within Orthodoxy in the USA. The first article, “The Orthodox Church of Tomorrow†was published […]
