I just finished attending a conference on Oriental Christianity. Participants included a mixture of Byzantine Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Coptic Christians. I’m thankful for a generous husband who practically pushed me out the door when I mentioned that it sounded interesting. However, I do feel ...

From this morning’s Vesperal Divine Liturgy for Holy Thursday service two things stuck out during the OT readings: From Ex. 19:10-19 reading: “For on the third day the Lord will come down….” and from Job 38:1-23, 42:1-5 “Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
