ROCOR’s New Met on the WCC

Last updated on: May 14, 2008 at 3:37 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Moscow, May 13, Interfax – The new First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) doubted the relevancy of the World Council of Churches. “The Moscow Patriarchate participates in the World Council of Churches for the purposes of maintaining a dialogue among Christians, but we can see that there is hardly any union reached, and this organization has lost its importance,” said the First Hierarch Hilarion in his interview published by the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily on Tuesday....

HOLYHEAD, Wales — A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape … and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church, was given a suspended sentence Tuesday. Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones — aka Master Jonba Hehol — with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates’ Court.

Plush Hairy Back

Last updated on: May 13, 2008 at 5:02 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

There’s a little ice cream shop in Sam Houston’s “hometown” of Huntsville where we’d popped in before, on the tail end of a previous camping trip. There we sat again, but this time we noticed the sign. As you exit the goody shop, it hangs by a window: “Please hurry back.” Though, seeing as how we’d lived in the woods for a couple nights, anything could be anything. It suddenly read: “Plush hairy back.” At least that’s what the dad... Read more

“He’s in a better place” … than Dixie?

Last updated on: May 10, 2008 at 6:53 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

We hear it from time to time: a silly thing, really. Truth be known, we’ve probably even said it.He’s in a better place … She’s in a better place …And, if you’ve said it before, forgive me, I’m not talking about you. Lord knows I’ve probably even said it. Sometimes when we try to comfort someone who has just lost a loved one, we say: He’s in a better place. or,She’s in a better place.I don’t think it’s just a...

Bunny Apocalypse

Okay, so this has nothing to do with Orthodoxy nor, truly, the season .. Also, having a ten year old boy watch the 26 episodes with you is better than the best laugh track. My son’s favorites were “Bunny vs the Elements” and “Bunny vs Doggy” and “Bunny vs Sauce Pan.” Forgive me (and/or enjoy)! Read more

A Note to the EU RE Christianophobia

Last updated on: May 5, 2008 at 10:12 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

The EU leadership makes laudable efforts to help immigrants from Islamic countries to embrace European values and to fully integrate into European society. An environment of tolerance is being created, whereby every person, regardless of his or her beliefs, must feel at home. I believe, however, that secular ideologies should not be regarded as the main basis for creating a society of tolerance and mutual respect. A secular or atheist ideology cannot serve as a common denominator for all of... Read more

What It Takes

Last updated on: May 3, 2008 at 3:13 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

It was years ago – perhaps in another reality – but a man came up to me and asked: Do you have what it takes? I said, “What are you talking about?” What It Takes … he repeated. Then he showed me a book. I looked down and saw the title of the book, written large in Sharpie on Duct Tape over a floppy leather cover, it read: What It Takes. I reached out for What It Takes and he... Read more
