Justice with Just Us and A Prayer

Next Step #180 : When a catholicos marginalizes prayer, its power stays unleashed and love is not explored. Another catholicos is ready to put it all in perspective - from his vantage point and with the maharajahs who missed the Armenians. After a brief visit to Armenian land, Fr. Vazken returns without jet lag but with some extra baggage. Continuing on Politics and Religion: finding mission in everything we do. Regis & Jerry: do we need to know everything? News from epostle.net too - Armodoxy has arrived.

Keystrokes for Peace and Avoiding the Politician

Next Step #179: Just back from Blogworld and New Media Expo, the Epostle.net team is renewed and exploring the dimensions of social media today. The pen, several years ago, was mightier than the sword. Today, emails seem passe. How social media and technology are being exploited by the Gospel. Andy Rooney's passing. Still trust the politicians? A big shift since the 1970's - how politics "validates" religious leaders; hypocrisy and the crimes we commit. The "boldness" of St. Peter and the Apostles are expressed in the post-resurrection experience, circa Pentecost 33.

Occupied with the Spare Pair

Next Step #178: The Occupy Movement - temporary problem on the street? Or the true product of injustice? Protesting big business and a tie to the protest led by Jesus.The Next Step is laced with protest - and it looks like we had the spare pair, all along. Thank God for Abp. Shnork and the unknown priest in the Eastern Diocese who wrote the manners and conduct manual in the 1950s. Thank God for the life of the "God generation" and their example of love and responsibility. Is Church a hobby?
