  • Who Can See God & Live?
    Mar 14 2025

    The Second Sunday of Lent, St Gregory Palamas, is the subject of this week's episode.

    Considered a second triumph of orthodoxy, because just as the veneration of icons is necessary for Christian worship as we remembered last week, the prayer of a single thought, hesychasm, ceaseless prayer, through which we see the uncreated light of God within ourselves, is also necessary. St Gregory defended this tradition against scholastic innovations from the Latin West which rejected the capacity of the human person to have the direct experience of God.

  • What Does It Mean to Be Orthodox?
    Mar 7 2025

    What Does It Mean to Be Orthodox?

    The first Sunday of Lent, The Triumph of Orthodoxy, is the subject of this week's episode.

    Originally remembering the Old Testament prophets, who spoke truth to power, now remembering the fathers of the 7th ecumenical council, which affirmed the necessity of the veneration of icons in Orthodox worship, Jim takes a few minutes to reflect on why it is Orthodoxy seems to triumph under adversity rather than flourishing when it is the established state religion.

  • How Do We Prepare for the Evangelion of The Christ?
    Feb 28 2025

    How Do We Prepare for the Evangelion of The Christ?

    Fr Symeon is busy now with the activities of Great Lent in his parish & so Jim is solo hosting a series of short reflections on the structure of the Paschal cycle.

    This first episode will examine the four pre-Lenten Sundays:
    - The Publican & The Pharisee
    - The Prodigal Son
    - The Last Judgement
    - Forgiveness

    He is choosing to frame this under the question how do we prepare for the Evangelion of The Christ because it was at the feast of Pentecost, which was originally the Jewish feast on which they celebrated the giving of the covenant through Moses to the people of Israel, at which St Peter & the other apostles first preached Jesus’ victory over death, setting all humanity free from the power of sin. This five month season of the year sets in motion a process of preparation which culminates in our renewal of our commitment to the life of the way of faithfulness to this declaration of a military victory.
