Those of you who now have grown daughters may very well remember facing a moment similar to this sometime in their early teenage years. I say early teenage years because by the time they are in their late teenage years, they are normally horrified at the thought of asking their father anything that has to […]
Indirect update on NYC mosque request
A couple of days ago Father Orthoduck posted on the whole controversy about the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. Mind you, the news media tries to make it sound as though it is on Ground Zero, but it is not, it is near it. An unintended side effect of those who are objecting […]
Of which non-English language am I talking?
This non-English language is one of the top five non-English languages used in the USA. I am not talking about any computer languages or mathematical symbology, etc. This non-English language is used by regular people. Use of this language has the full and unequivocal support of the Congress of the United States by members of […]

An appealing, engaging Gospel
Have you ever heard someone say that they want to preach an appealing, engaging Gospel? I can remember that type of language being used many years ago. What was meant at that time was that people were reacting against what they saw as the sterile orthodoxy of the 1950’s. This type of thinking is actually […]

Follow up thoughts on it isn’t true just because someone told you so
One person who commented on my post, Something is not true simply because someone said so, wondered about the place of the Holy Spirit in my description of the Early Church Fathers: Would you not say that they relied on the Holy Spirit then, as He did His work in that era, but they did […]
A church near the Oklahoma boming site?
Father Orthoduck found the interesting cartoon posted above. It is an interesting thought experiment.
