Much Ado About Despota

Last updated on: November 23, 2008 at 5:11 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

If you ever wanna make a priest jump … about 5 minutes before Matins/Orthros begins (that’s the service that comes before Liturgy in most churches, by the way) – just before it begins, about a half dozen of you guys start goin’ something like this … EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee … Oh,don’t really; I’m just kidding … church ain’t no place for practical jokes. But, believe me, there’d most likely be a head peering out the Angel door or through the curtain, eyes... Read more

A Statement of the Orthodox Christian Bishops of California, issued earlier this fall, in support of Proposition 8: (See also the 2003 SCOBA statement on the moral crisis in our nation – here.)

Fort Worth Does the Side-Step

Last updated on: November 17, 2008 at 8:32 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Funny. Just days after the newly consecrated [Orthodox] Bishop of Fort Worth was made Metropolitan of the Orthodox Church in America, the [Episcopal] Diocese of Fort Worth voted to split from the Episcopal Church in America, seeking refuge under the Southern Cone. NEW YORK – The theologically conservative Diocese of Fort Worth voted Saturday to split from the liberal-leaning Episcopal Church, the fourth traditional diocese to do so in a long-running debate over the Bible, homosexual relationships and other issues....

A Tooth, a Truck, and a (Paffhausen)

Last updated on: November 15, 2008 at 2:46 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The Houston highways are notorious for organized, lightning fast, chaos — which can often lead to unorganized, tortoise slow … chaos. Thanks to the host of 18-wheelers making their way through the spaghetti junctions that surround the nation’s 4th largest city, accidents happen often. Then there’s the inordinate amount of debris that flies off the backs of some of those vehicles … So much so that one radio station has an on-air game (of sorts): “Name That Debris.” That is,...

HOUSTON: Two Bishops & a Patriarch

Last updated on: November 12, 2008 at 9:35 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

“… for the Ko-ran tells me so”

Last updated on: November 10, 2008 at 6:27 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The following comment was left on this blog in reference to this old post (note – the link for the bumper sticker has expired). For the sake of peace and tolerance we should read books of other faiths. Quran is the only book with its original text intact. It is the only book that confirms and respects Jesus and Moses (and other biblical prophets as well). Knowledge never hurts. Intolerance does and it comes from lack of knowledge. God bless...

Here at the Orthodixie Headquarters we are blessed, from time to time, to receive letters – emails – from the Ancient Faith faithful. Just for fun, here’s a few … Dear Fr Joseph, I am new to Orthodoxy, having converted last Pascha, and since that time I’ve heard the phrase “back in the Old Country” many, many times. Just what does this mean – the old country – and, I feel stupid asking … just where is it? Lost in... Read more
