Must Read: Introduction to Athanasius’ On The Incarnation by C.S. Lewis

Last updated on: October 27, 2010 at 12:08 am By Billy Kangas

This is from the Introduction to Athanasius’ On The Incarnation by C.S. Lewis I have been told over and over to read this so I finally did. It was way to good to keep to myself. Saint of the week will have to wait until Wednesday There is a strange idea abroad that in every subject the ancient books should be read only by the professionals, and that the amateur should content himself with the modern books. Thus I have... Read more

Is Gregory of Nyssa in favor of Sola Scriptura?

Last updated on: October 25, 2010 at 9:56 am By Billy Kangas

A few weeks ago we posted a quote where it seemed like Basil the great was blasting Sola Scriptura preemptively by 1000 years or so. I thought to be balanced I would post this quote from his fellow Cappadocian: Gregory of Nyssa. “If custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom; and if they reject this, we are surely not bound to follow theirs. Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the... Read more

In Memoriam | Chrissy Burns

Last updated on: October 24, 2010 at 2:03 pm By Billy Kangas

A dear friend of mine passed away this weekend. Over the last few years Chrissy Burns spend a good deal of her Sunday afternoons at my parents home with what we called the “Brunch Bunch” it was essentially a bunch of people who had gradually managed to make it into our family. We would all get together and eat and laugh. Chrissy was always a one of the main reasons we were laughing. Chrissy you will be dearly missed. Read more

This week’s prayer for my son

Last updated on: October 24, 2010 at 12:34 am By Billy Kangas

Now that I am a father I thought I might give you updates on my prayer life with my son. So far it’s been awesome. He wakes me up early and we go pray while him Mom is asleep. I have something called a moby wrap which I wrap him up in and he curls up comfortably while I pray. He likes the Treasury of Daily Prayer, and the Liturgy of the Hours a lot since I chant and sing... Read more

Living in Tension: Tony Campolo

Last updated on: October 21, 2010 at 5:54 pm By Billy Kangas

I ran into this video via a friend from seminary here at North Park who is working for the Marin Foundation who hosted this session a couple weeks ago. The Marin foundation is a organization that is working for the re-humanization of the LGBT community I thought it was very good. I have always had trouble finding my voice on this issue. As one of our readers recently told me “The way the churches have joined and even provided the... Read more

Saints of the Week: the North American Martyrs

Last updated on: October 19, 2010 at 1:54 pm By Billy Kangas

This week had so many great saints it was hard to choose. The week started out with the feast of St. Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, whose importance can’t be underscored enough. The church also remembers Saint Luke, the Evangelist who wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. The Eastern Church also remembers one of the coolest sounding saints I have ever run into this week: Averkios, Equal-to-the-Apostles and Wonderworker of Hierapolis, who is known for tearing down idols and...

St. Cyprian on infant baptism

Last updated on: October 18, 2010 at 4:34 pm By Billy Kangas

I am a big proponent of infant baptism. I know many of our readers are not. Since my first child was born last week I thought this week would be a good one to highlight this quote by St. Cyprian and hopefully engage in conversation with anyone who would like to talk about the issue. Let me know what you think “In respect of the case of infants, which you say ought not to be baptized within the second or third day after birth,... Read more

The Doctrine of Sin (and why it’s good news)

Last updated on: October 16, 2010 at 1:43 pm By Billy Kangas

Sin is a difficult issue to discuss because for most people it is a difficult thing to define. For many people sin is simply doing what is wrong. For others the donation of something as “wrong” is even a little irksome to them; sin in these cases is often defined as a transgression of certain laws, cultural norms, or taboos. If we see sin as transgression than the debate begins to swirl around the qualifiers of sin. People begin to... Read more

Courtship into Consummation: Erotic Poetry and Theosis

Last updated on: October 15, 2010 at 12:51 am By Billy Kangas

One of the most controversial and confusing books in the Bible is the Song of Songs, or Song of Solomon as it is often called. This book is a poem that shows the Movement of a woman and a man in courtship that moves into consummation. One could argue the Missio Dei is also an example of this movement. I think this is the reason that this book has often been used analogously to the life of God to his... Read more
