Few people would accuse the University of Michigan Press as being radically conservative. Quite the opposite, the University of Michigan is known to be at the other end of the spectrum. For instance, the entire university is due to go smoke-free by 2011, anywhere on campus, even outside. They are also known for the annual […]
Father Orthoduck apologizes for Pat Robertson
Father Orthoduck wishes to apologize for Pat Robertson. He wishes to state that his comments are not to be taken as representative of Christian attitudes in the USA on the whole. Father Orthoduck does admit that there is a faction of Evangelicalism that is prone to believe in stories that make simplistic “spiritual” points without […]
We Came, We Saw, We Converted
Orthodox Christianity has a tradition of saints who are known as fools-for-Christ, people who have attacked the sin of pride by behaving in ways that seem, to the casual observer, insane. To date, there is no tradition in Orthodoxy of wiseguys-for-Christ, which is a shame: that would be handy category for Fr. Joseph Huneycutt. A […]
Pray for Haiti
This is a very simple post. Pray for Haiti. The news reports are devastating and the human toll is horrendous. O Lord our God have mercy on those in Haiti. Help them, O Lord, and minister to them by your grace.
Vampires and power in the blood
Everything that moves, everything that is alive, is yours for food. Earlier I gave you the green plants, but now I give you everything for food. But you must not eat meat that still has blood in it, because blood gives life. — Genesis 9:3-4 I will be against any citizen of Israel or foreigner […]

In fact, they have united more factions than Father Orthoduck even knew existed in the United States of America, the Minor Islands, Guam, and other possessions. Over what subject have these men and women of the desk so managed […]
Hebrew writing older than thought – Haaretz
You mean that the Israelis knew how to write Hebrew around the time that the Old Testament said they knew how to write? Yes, as shocking as it may seem, it appears that the Old Testament was telling the truth when it says that King David and the rest of the crew afterward knew how […]
On ch’uspa and belonging
How do you know when you belong? There are many answers, but I know exactly when I knew that I belonged in the town of Choco, and it had to do with a ch’uspa, a bag, similar to the one that you see pictured with this post. [For those of you who do not know […]
Shoes of peace
Yes, that is my hand holding the separated heel on a hiking boot. It has been cold in Florida the last few days, so I thought that I would put the hiking boots on to keep my feet slightly warmer. But, when I went to put on my size 7½ hiking boots, I realized that […]
Authors of Orthodox fiction
What do you call a group of Orthodox fiction writers? Are they a gaggle? Are they a herd? Are they a zeal? Are they a flock? (“Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore!’”) Are they a colony? Are they a tribe? Maybe they are even a pod? Well, whatever they are, there is a site for Orthodox fiction […]
