Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.
Kontakion of the Triumph of Orthodoxy



God our deliverer, who sent your Son Jesus Christ to set your people free from the slavery of sin: grant that, as your servant William Wilberforce toiled against the sin of slavery, so we may bring compassion to all and work for the freedom of all the children of God; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:1-4, ESV)

Hey Peter,
Great to hear your voice :-) Although, the thing about webcam-replies is that they may be quicker for you to make, but they are slower for us to “read” :-) They are also not searchable by search engines etc. (at least until voice recognition gets much, much better).

Hi Peter
long time no speak. You’ve probably covered this many on your site before but my question would be “why are conservative churches so keen to speak out on the issue of homosexuailty and yet when it comes time to offer help in the form of say a Living Waters or RL group (which of course would include other forms of brokeness) they get all nervous and back off. This is a generalisation of course but you get my drift.
feel free to edit/adapt as you see fit.
