Canadian Journal of Orthodox Christianity

Thought you all might like to know the new issue of the journal from St. Arseny Institute is now online. There are two articles from our new Metropolitan, and a really amazing piece from John Hadjnicolaou of Montreal about the 'secret path' of an Orthodox First Nations chief!

Under the direction of Fr. Lawrence I took a drive out to Derby Reach and the roads are totally accessible and the parking lot has been cleared.  So, it is all systems go as long as we don't have another weird weather system appear to thwart our plans.  Dress warmly and have appropriate footwear.  We will have our Blessing of the Waters tomorrow.

Pascha 2008

Canada Day 2008

Hey y'all. sorry if these are gettin' old. I have been going through all my old church photos (since digital photography and a bottomless pit of server space on flickr, I have managed to collect thousands, yes thousands, of photos) and only now do I have the time to go through them, pick and choose, make slide shows, etc. I do plan on printing a good bunch of them and putting them into albums to have at church for those who are not so digitally inclined, but for the rest of you... enjoy!

I am on a roll now...
