Life is a journey, each person's journey is unique.

Religion

  • A peaceful Place

    You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? I would want to be in a place without distractions such as tv and video games. My internet access would only allow me to access my Microsoft cloud and my Logos cloud so that I could read and take notes but Read more

  • A Blessed Nativity

    Tonight was beautiful. My friend and I went to church to celebrate the Feast of the Nativity. It was a wonderful celebration of the birth of Christ. Christ is Born! Alleluia! Read more

  • Happiness

    When are you most happy? I am most happy when I’m with my family and when I’m at Church. Family means everything to me. Church also means everything to me. I love studying Holy Scripture with my best friend. We both find so much peace during this time. I think the key to happiness is Read more

  • God

    Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. My faith has carried me along through life. The first stories I ever remember my Mum telling me were about God. She taught me to love Jesus and without that love, my love would never have been as fulfilling as it has been. Without that love, Read more

  • My travel dream

    What cities do you want to visit? I would love to visit Jerusalem and the Holy sites where Our Lord walked. Our course, most of all the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

    What was your favorite subject in school? Although I never studied religion in school growing up, I studied it on my own. I studied Judaism under the local Rabbi and in the neighbourhood Roman Catholic Church, I found a priest who encouraged my studies. As a teenager, I studied Christianity with the neighbourhood priest who Read more

  • Learning New Things

    I’ve studied theology for 30 years. Unfortunately my understanding of the development of denominations during and after the Reformation is not very strong. My primary focus of study over the past 30 years was in Judaism, Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox. I’ve studied each of these in great depth and written numerous papers as well Read more

  • The Nativity Fast

    Orthodox Christians begin the “countdown” to the Feast of the Nativity of Christ (Christmas), with a 40 day Fast. This is not extraordinary, as we have a number of 40 day Fasts in Orthodox, especially before Pascha (Passover/Easter). Since we are going to begin the Nativity Fast on November 15th, I thought it would be Read more
