Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. — Luke 12
Lybia, the USA, and the United Nations
Just about six hours ago, United Nations approved forces from several countries began punitive attacks on Lybia to force it to obey United Nations resolutions. USA forces are simply one of several countries involved in the attacks. The British Armed Forces actually launched many of the Tomahawks and planes that struck Libya. French and British […]
Denial of Service attack
The server which hosts the OrthoCuban blog apparently suffered a severe Denial of Service account with a DNS failure. So, not only this blog, but anything hosted on that service was down. But, we are back.
First week of Lent worship services
As those of you who are Orthodox know, the first week of Lent has eight evening services in a row. As a result, for those of us who are priests and work a secular job, we tend to disappear from the radar. I have tried to keep up posting this week, but I can see […]

The makeup of the Christian community in Israel
Father Orthoduck is an Antiochian priest. That means that he has many friends who are either Arab immigrant or descended from Arabs. This is part of the reason why he questions strongly some of the all-too-common American attitudes towards “Arabs.” Father Orthoduck would wish to remind readers that until the Islamic conquests the largest part […]
