Good evening friends in Christ, I am Roman Catholic, but I have an agnostic friend who is seriously considering returning to the faith of her grandparents, which is Russian Orthodoxy. I am soooo thrilled to hear of a soul, raised by athiest parents, who is now heeding the call of the Father...

Unmasking "Choice" The word "choice" sounds good, doesn't it? Everyone likes the freedom to choose what he or she wants. But what if our choices harm other human beings? For example, during the Holocaust the choice to exterminate the Jewish people was wrong. In the United States, the...

The day after Christmas the Church celebrates her very first Martyr, Saint Stephen. Our priest, Father John, said such a clever homily about this this morning (Dec 26th). Two short points he made I'd like to share, that: 1. Immitation is the best form of flattery, therefore we are to immitate...
