New Podcast - Dreaming Beyond a Speech and into Syria

Dreaming Beyond a Speech and into Syria
Fr. Vazken Movsesian
30 Aug 2013
Next Step #273: 50 years after Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kings Jr's "I have a Dream Speech," Fr. Vazken shares some thoughts and offers a challenge to dream of peace - bringing about peace without the use of violence. With the imminent threat of war in Syria, a candid look at our faith - do we really believe that we can overcome evil with love? Do we believe there are non-violent alternatives to threats of death and annihilation? Also a discussion of chickens and headless existence (in the context of the Armenian Church and Armodoxy)

    Sun Sash - In His Shoes

    In His Shoes

    Sometime I hear people saying nothing has changed, but for someone to grow up the way I grew up in the cotton fields of Alabama to now be serving in the United States Congress makes me want to tell them come and walk in my shoes. Come walk in the shoes of those who were attacked by police dogs, fire hoses and nightsticks, arrested and taken to jail.

    ~Congressman John Lewis
    (50th Anniversary of "I Have A Dream" Speech)

    Sun Sash - Banking


      Banking
      We refuse believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity in this nation. So we have come to cash this check - a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. 
      ~Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
      (28 August 1963)

      Sun Sash - Love of Enemies

      Love of Enemies
      Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they’ll hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies....
      ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

      Sun Sash - Miracles

      Miracles
      Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

      Sun Sash - Let it Be

      Let it Be
      When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom. Let it be.
      ~Lennon & McCartney

       New Podcast - Next Step #271

      Speaking Words of Wisdom
      Fr. Vazken Movsesian
      15 Aug 2013
      Next Step #271: Fr. Vazken starts this episode by an attempt at myth-busting grape-blessing with the help of old-Iraqis and the folks down-under. Where this podcast ends up is a true reflection of Armodoxy - taking the essence of the Holy Mother of God, St. Mary, and finding a verse of pop culture that focuses on the importance of Saints in our everyday life. Is this a redirection or dismissal of her virginity? You decide. But before you do, listen to the list of names ascribed to St. Mary, from "Antaram" to "Makrouhi" to "Yerjanik" and find a message that talks to you. Also, a look at the Grape Blessing service; the Armenians were sanctifying food before Kosher became a standard. Don't miss this special edition of the Next Step.
