Thoughts of Leaving the Orthodox Church

Last updated on: March 16, 2009 at 5:13 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following reply was sent, a few years back, to a frustrated Orthodox Christian who had written me with thoughts of leaving the Orthodox Church. I found this while looking through some old files.

Upon the Solid Rock [of Salt] I Stand …

Last updated on: March 6, 2009 at 8:48 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

In a recent podcast, I mentioned that a priest who gets a good night’s sleep on Saturday night is “not worth his salt”. Now comes this … The nation’s cooks will be seasoning their daily bread with salt of a different denomination if a Maryland entrepreneur has his way. Examiner.com reports that retired barber Joe Godlewski, 73, was inspired to develop his own Christian Blessed Salt after repeatedly hearing television chefs call for the Kosher variety. The sea salt, blessed... Read more
