Kyrie, Eleison!: Now for my Violin, If you Please

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2013/12/now-for-my-violin-if-you-please.html

Sunday, December 29, 2013. Now for my Violin, If you Please. Ahhhh, a six-week piece of sleuthing finished. Fair damsel saved, albeit with a bruised heart (but that was going to happen no matter what), crook exposed, lies documented, criminal charges pending. Victims unlikely ever to see their money again, but neither will they be losing any more. Case over, at least as far as any involvement of mine. Posted by Anastasia Theodoridis.

Saturday, February 1, 2014. A Lesbian Activists Comments on Homosexuality. Read and copy for your friends. Camille Paglia, in her various writings, challenges everyone.

Kyrie, Eleison!: Some Major Differences In Catholic and Orthodox Doctrine

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014/01/some-major-differences-in-catholic-and.html

Friday, January 17, 2014. Some Major Differences In Catholic and Orthodox Doctrine. Last night, in our ecumenical discussion group, I once again heard a Catholic say that after all, we have no significant theological differences. Many Catholics, if not most, seem to have been taught this. It is false, and I thought it useful to show, very briefly, why. So here are just a few of the major differences. And five times opened it to a random page, and five times found there some divergence from Orthodox teach...

Kyrie, Eleison!: May 2014

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 30, 2014. Well, that might have worked had not everything gone wrong that possibly could have. First, the train was 20 minutes late coming into Richmond. Then there were minor delays. That put us into Union Station well after 5:30. So what? Still an hour to get there the requisite two hours ahead of time. Well, okay, but what we hadn't taken into account is, the hours between 3:00 and 7:00 or so are no time to be traveling anywhere within 25 miles of Washington, DC. We asked the cabbie. Eight...

Kyrie, Eleison!: An Ascension Meditation

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014/05/an-ascension-meditation.html

Monday, May 26, 2014. That old philosophical puzzle asks: if a tree falls in the forest when there's no one around to hear it, was there really any sound? So, inwardly, he is prepared when Jesus comes to find him. Now the man has that inner something by way of assurance, plus the outward data: he can see. Most importantly, he can see (and hear) Jesus. The outward experience confirms what is in the man's heart, and what is in his heart confirms Who it is he sees. They all arrive at Emmaus and decide to ea...

Kyrie, Eleison!: Romancing the Bottle

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014/02/romancing-bottle.html

Monday, February 10, 2014. Yup, I've been hitting the bottle lately, which is another way of saying, my mild interest in glass bottles appears suddenly to have blossomed into a full-fledged love affair. So a week ago, I went to the Goodwill store to see what I could find there, and sure enough, I found this glass bottle for $2.25. It's made precisely to be used over and over. So what was this all about? WOW, I thought. My bottle is at least 50 years old; who knew? So this is a mark used by the Thatcher G...

Kyrie, Eleison!: "Temporal" is Another Word for "Secular"

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014/01/is-another-word-for.html

Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Temporal is Another Word for Secular. Recently, the Catholics in our dialogue group proposed to the Orthodox that we needed to unite in order the better to fight the threats of Islam and -get this - secularism. Aside from that not being a proper basis for union, and aside from our belief that to preserve His Church is the Holy Spirit's job, well, I was dumbfounded. What can I say that won't be offensive? Dear Catholics, can't you see the glaring contradiction here? My point is, ...

Kyrie, Eleison!: A Different Place

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-different-place.html

Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Walking into church Sunday, I was more than usually aware of entering a different world, or at least a different dimension. Not that it is separate from the wider world; far from it. It is, mystically, the very heart of it, creation's inner sanctum. Posted by Anastasia Theodoridis. So true, so true. I have thought about this a lot recently. It has been 10 weeks since I have been in an Orthodox church. How I have missed it and how I look forward to next Sunday! Things I Would D...

Kyrie, Eleison!: Becky's Miracle

http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2014/01/beckys-miracle.html

Sunday, January 19, 2014. When you first see Becky, wearing jeans and a sweatshirt in church with hiking shoes, and sporting a butch haircut, your first reaction is bound to be, "Lesbian." Either that or she lost all her hair from chemotherapy and is just now growing it back. No, it was PLS," she said, "primary lateral sclerosis.". Never heard of it.". It's much like ALS," she said, "Lou Gehrig's disease.". A progressive disease, I think," I said. The answer, well, we don't really know, but we do know Go...
