[Eusebios]

Dianne,
Good link. Have you read any of Fr. Schmemann's other works? I highly recommend, "Of Water and The Spirit", his most excellent treatise on baptism, and "for the Life of The World" on Eucharistic Theology and its role and importance in the life of the Church.
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios.

I haven't gotten to his other works yet - just found that one yesterday. (I'm still working through the ECF's and the OCA website). But I'm putting Fr. Schmemann on my reading list!

Very good article countrymousenc, thanks for posting that. I think Fr. Schmemann sums our mission up well - engagement.

I just finished reading his book on Lent. I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks, Rilian, I'll put it on my list. Nice to have you 'round here at TAW!

Thanks countrymouse. I followed the link back on the article you posted and there appears to be a bunch of articles online written by Fr. Schmemann. More to add to my mountain of reading!
