Backing Up to the Cross

Last updated on: March 15, 2010 at 6:31 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

I‘m a little late in getting this posted but, for the record and your edification, here are a couple pics of Bishop THOMAS at St George on the Sunday of the Cross — with a link to his sermon, below. His Grace likes to preach from the Solea. Trouble is, there’s no microphone there — which wasn’t a problem for those in attendance, but the recording reflects a certain chamber echo. [Click here for the Sayidna’s sermon on the Sunday... Read more

One Eyed, One Horned, Lenten Purple People Eater

Last updated on: March 13, 2010 at 5:59 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Much like you have introverts and extroverts, a friend of mine once theorized that there were Purple People and White People; that is, tipping his hat to the colors of the liturgical seasons, there were Lenten Christians and Paschal Christians. Some folks really, really get into LENT. As a layman, I was one of those: I was Purple. My sojourn as a Purple Person continued for about the first 10 years of my priesthood. I have come to the conclusion,... Read more

Becoming Peter Gillquist

Last updated on: March 12, 2010 at 5:27 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Forty-eight times a day Every now and then, I check the book stats on Amazon. Imagine my surprise when, yesterday, I found that my new book’s cover had been replaced by the cover for Fr Peter Gillquist’s 25th Anniversary Edition of Becoming Orthodox. I couldn’t decide if this should all translate to: We Came, We Saw, We Covered or We Came, We Saw, We Recovered We’ve put in for the fix but, at last check, it’s still wonky. It must... Read more

St Paraskevi Monastery – Feast of 40 Martyrs

Last updated on: March 9, 2010 at 8:32 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Winter in these parts has been, by Texas standards, pretty brutal this year. But, as I told Gerontissa Paraskevi: “The weather is always beautiful when I come here.” “You should come more often,” she replied. Today I had the blessing of taking Bishop THOMAS of the Diocese of Charleston, Oakland, and the Mid-Atlantic (Antiochian Archdiocese) to the women’s Monastery of St Paraskevi, Washington, Texas. We also brought along St George parishioner, George Katrib. Gerontissa gave us a tour of the... Read more

The Tonight Show: Conan, Carnac, Dave, and Lento?

Last updated on: March 4, 2010 at 12:35 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

With all the fanfare surrounding the return of Jay Leno to The Tonight Show – and earlier, the drama around hosts and ratings, I was remembering my own visit to The Tonight Show, as a member of the studio audience, back when Johnny Carson was host. This would have been many moons ago, in the summer of 1982 … I was a college kid selling Cable TV in Southern California – and a coworker’s mom just happened to be on... Read more

Top Ten Signs it’s the Great Fast

Last updated on: March 4, 2010 at 9:44 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Was thinking about this list the other day … could only come up with five. Suggestions welcomed in the comments. 10) The devil looks a whole lot like that Burger King guy. 9) You start thinking, “I hate everyone – is that a sin?” 8) It’s really, really … windy. 7) You wonder if reading ingredient labels counts as spiritual reading. 6) Greek, Russian or Arabic? Nope – but, during the Fast, your CHINESE improves greatly! Image Source Read more

The Primary Aim of Fasting

Last updated on: March 2, 2010 at 3:19 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following quote, the words of Mother Mary and Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, comes from Fr Josiah Trenham’s site, The Arena. “The primary aim of fasting is to make us conscious of our dependence upon God. If practiced seriously, the Lenten abstinence from food- particularly in the opening days- involves a considerable measure of real hunger, and also a feeling of tiredness and physical exhaustion. The purpose of this is to lead us in turn to a sense of inward brokenness... Read more

FASTING: The Weak & the West

Last updated on: February 28, 2010 at 5:53 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following two snippets, the words of Mother Mary and Metropolitan (then Archimandrite) Kallistos Ware, come from Fr Josiah Trenham’s site, The Arena. The Meaning of the Great Fast: How the West Changed the Fast “The second tendency [viewing the fasting rules as outdated] is doubtless the more prevalent in our own day, especially in the West. Until the fourteenth century, most Western Christians, in common with their brethren in the Orthodox East, abstained during Lent not only from meat... Read more
