A choice to love and trust

The Two Great Commandments are not: Agree to this set precepts about God; and agree to that set precepts about your neighbor. Faith is not about intellectual assent; faith is about love. Faith is our loving, trusting response to the love of God for us. And in our loving response to God’s love a life-giving relationship is forged. My sermon at St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Sunday, July 9, 2023.

The Story of Our Salvation (or “My Visit to Zootown”)

In June 2022, I was invited to speak on Eastern Orthodox Christianity at Zootown Church in Missoula, Montana. I talked with with my bishop, and he agreed that it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. It was a wonderful visit. I met some very devout and kind hearted believers, and I made some new friends. The theme of my message was how the ancient Christian Church understands the story of our salvation.
