The Life and Times of Jeremiah “The Weeping Prophet”

Last updated on: March 5, 2012 at 4:32 pm By Billy Kangas

Destiny is a strange concept. In all of this there is a deep sense in the hearts of many people that there is such a thing as destiny, and people have a role to play in it. However most of us find our way into our place naturally. We adapt to the world around us and accept that our sitz im leben is not something we should seek to alter. There are, however, some people who choose to kick against... Read more

Origen on The Cross

Last updated on: March 3, 2012 at 3:30 pm By Billy Kangas

One of the most influential thinkers in the early church was Origen. Although later condemned for some of his more platonic theology, Origen was immensely popular in his own time. Origen was the first Christian writer to try to wrestle through the theology of the sacrifice on the cross in a philosophically coherent way. He asked how can the Christ as Logos of God be correctly and convincingly understood understood as possessing saving power?[1] As a man deeply influenced by Plato... Read more

The Ancient Understanding of Eucharist

Last updated on: March 2, 2012 at 3:37 pm By Billy Kangas

The Christian church followed many of the Greeks in an shift away from the need to offer sacrifices as a way of pleasing God, although they did it for very different reasons. The early church believed that in light of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross sacrifice was no longer necessary. Jesus had made a sacrifice once and for all and stood in the place of a priest for all the church through all of time. When Christians talked... Read more

Learning to walk in grace

See how surely it has sought itself, its roots passing lordly through the earth. See how without confusion it is all that it is, and how flawless its... Read more

The Liturgy of the Heart

Last updated on: February 28, 2012 at 11:48 pm By Billy Kangas

This week a few friends and I looked through Jeremiah 7:1-15. It’s a text that doesn’t get looked at a whole lot. Most Sunday lectionaries don’t included it (I believe the Anglicans are the only ones), and few people spend a lot of time reflecting on the beauty and power of the Prophets in their personal study. I think one of the reasons for this is that people often think that prophets are too difficult to understand. This is a... Read more
