Fallacies

One of the decisions we made in building this site is not to bow to the religious flames that people heap on you when they don’t agree - whether the angry ecumenist or the angry traditionalist. For instance:

Guilt by Association: Well “those” people are tainted - they’re in the “French” school, or *they* were associated with the people publishing Fr. Seraphim Rose’s work - that’s suspect. This is a perverted religiosity that is present in any religion. . . .

The New Site

One site reader wrote in to thank us for the new material. You’re welcome. There’s a lot more coming to the site.

The timeline, I think, is the single most powerful tool one can implement, tho. . . .

Turkey Week

It’s interesting to read questions in forums online of how one who is committed to the Nativity Fast, deals with family expectations of eating turkey on Thanksgiving. I never understand how one cannot realize that committing to Orthodoxy is inherently an act of dissent toward the culture - a break, indeed a repudiation of the assumptions of the culture. . . .
