THE SIN OF DIVORCE

July 10, 2019 By Father Timothy

Fr. Lawrence Farley It is a staple of the LGBTQ assault on the Church’s traditional condemnation of homosexual activity that by this condemnation the Church is singling out homosexuals for special treatment. In particular, it is pointed out that Christ condemns divorce in unequivocal terms and yet the Church easily allows divorce and accepts divorced […]

Confession

July 5, 2019 By Father Timothy

It is only out of delusion we believe we do not need others to see, understand, and treat our spiritual sickness. Anyone who believes that he alone can cure his spiritual diseases has isolated himself from a Mystery of the Church and will come to ruin. Only with the help of others are we saved, […]

The Distraction Delusion – Get Your Hands Dirty

June 13, 2019 By Father Timothy

June 12, 2019 · Fr. Stephen Freeman I recently bought a pickup truck, a twenty-five year-old clunker that runs ok. I paid $600 for it and have been slowly tending to the little fixes that it requires. It’s old enough to lack the computerization that puts vehicles beyond the reach of a shade-tree mechanic. My father and […]

PASCHA IS NOT EASTER!

April 29, 2019 By Father Timothy

Fr. Michael Harper SOURCE: Orthodox Research Institutehttp://orthochristian.com/61203.html I hear occasionally from someone who sometimes accuses the Orthodox Church of being “foreign”, and so unsuitable for the British. A few days ago he sent me a card saying “the word in English is Easter”. My reply was “the word in Greek (and, therefore, English), is Pascha”. This […]

PASCHAL MESSAGE OF HIS EMINENCE, ARCHBISHOP BENJAMIN -04/24/19

April 27, 2019 By Father Timothy

“By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered You in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it […]

PENTECOSTAL ORTHODOXY

April 19, 2019 By Father Timothy

Fr. Lawrence Farley I suppose that the adjective “Pentecostal” in the title should be placed in scare quotes, because by “Pentecostal Orthodoxy” I do not refer to a combination of Protestant Pentecostalism and Orthodoxy, but that Orthodoxy itself is essentially Pentecostal. In his book The Orthodox Church (then) Timothy Ware described the Orthodox Church as “a continued […]

The Contemporary Protestant Seder: Anachronistic Revisionism?

April 10, 2019 By Father Timothy

JULY 4, 2016 BY FR. JOHN A. PECK by the Rev. Dcn. Dr. Timothy J. Wilkinson The protestant Evangelical world has, for many years now, appropriated the Jewish Seder service in an attempt to ‘reconnect’ with something more ancient, and I would contend, something more authentic. We offer this excellent piece by Dcn Tim Wilkinson, Reprinted (with […]

ADVICE TO THE CONFUSED

March 29, 2019 By Father Timothy

Fr. Lawrence Farley I suppose that most pastors have had the experience of a young parishioner approaching them privately and confiding in them their suspicion or decision that they were gay, bisexual, or transgender. Such confusion is in the air, has the Nihil Obstat of both secular culture and governmental sanction, and also bestows a kind of […]
