Theophan: Pottery Class Offers Peaceful Respite

by

By Fr. Theophan Mackey
Rector
Saint Job of Pochaiv Orthodox Church

My pottery classes at the Fuller Lodge Art Center seem to be going along swimmingly. It is, or at least it is my objective to make it, a peaceful respite, a calm haven and oasis, far away from the stress and cares of this life.

Attempting to acquire a new manual skill gives the mind something external and well defined to concentrate on. And one, difficult, but entirely surmountable job is a veritable vacation from the chaotic whirlwind that is most of our internal lives. All the things we cannot control, but still struggle with all our Read More

Posts From The Road: A Radio In Every Room

by

Boots Court: Boots Court Motel sits near downtown Carthage, Mo. on Route 66 and Highway 71. Built in the 1930s and opening in 1939, the motel became a popular stopping point for travelers on both routes. The entrance was inviting with the outdoor chairs by the door for visitors to linger and stay awhile. Today, all rooms have been restored to their original settings and furnishings and the building has been remodeled from top to bottom. Although a little hard to see in the photo, the round disc sign hanging from the Boots Court sign promises a radio in every room, a luxury in 1939! The motel has carried Read More

Fr. Glenn: Go, Therefore …

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

One thing that the Charlie Kirk murder made very evident was a modern stark divide between Christian and secular thought. Regardless of what one might have thought of Kirk,  much hatred has been directed at him and at Christians in general—even to the point that he “deserved” to die, some mocking and even celebrating his death, and more broadly, ridiculing and disparaging Christian faith which he professed, however imperfectly as some have said (but NO one observes it perfectly because of human weakness). But, sadly, that seems to be the norm of “dialogue” these days. Even Read More

Op-Ed: The Shared Vision Of Jane Goodall And Pope Leo

by

By TERRY HANSEN
Milwaukee, WI.

Conservationist Jane Goodall has passed away at age 91. As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, she urged: “You’re supposed to share the planet, and yet species are disappearing. Ecosystems are collapsing. That’s going to affect us.”

More recently, Pope Leo XIV implored: “We cannot love God, whom we cannot see, while despising his creatures. Nor can we call ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ without participating in his outlook on creation and his care for all that is fragile and wounded.”

Pope Leo and Goodall share deeply rooted values: reverence for life, Read More
