Subhumanity – The Philosophy of the Absurd

Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose)

We must again be Christians. It is futile, in fact it is precisely absurd, to speak of reforming society, of changing the path of history, of emerging into an age beyond absurdity, if we have not Christ in our hearts; and if we do have Christ in our hearts, nothing else matters.

"Convey to Them the Joy of the Resurrection"

A Conversation with a Mission Priest on His Experiences and Thoughts on Orthodoxy in America

Jesse Dominick, Fr. Timothy Hojnicki

"Without the message of salvation you will not be able to rejoice in the rest of it. Christ has come into the world to save us. When we have friends that are suffering or sad or mournful, we must convey to them the joy of the Resurrection—that’s what we’re called to do. If you can’t do that, then just shut the doors. Start with the basics."

As a direct result of his efforts, and in accordance with his express desire and sense of calling, he crowned his ministry with martyrdom, being murdered in the nave of his own church on the night of November 19, 2009.

Thoughts on a Refugee Crisis But No Solution

Fr. Ted Bobosh

The mass migration has put many European countries to the test, and have challenged the moral values of Christians throughout the world. How should Christians respond to these aliens and strangers who come knocking at our borders? How do we treat migrants who themselves are related to people who have inflicted oppression and suffering on Christians?
