Compass #31: After the Avon walk, Linda debriefs with Fr. Vazken. Of epic proportions, the walk successfully celebrates the fight against cancer. Lesson learn and lessons to learn. Charting some uncomfortable territory in looking at ministry, Christianity, activism and ultimately Armodoxy. Part of the Equation Theology: in the expression 1+2+3=6, each factor is essential.

Compass #25: This girl wants to know! Can a church have a spiritual and national mission? A bridge is forming across our fears of what has never been before. The discussions are picking up momentum as a series of events and discoveries are unfolding. A journey starts out on the streets which is sparked by everything from WINDOW articles, to the Williams Bay Manifesto to A Call to Excellence to Vahe Oshagan, Krikor Beledian and a near extinct language. Bridges are being built and dots are being connected. The sweetness is in the journey and the process has becomes our means of survival. Plus, critical bodies and the 10 year theory.

Compass #24: This week’s Compass asks questions about making the connection between Genocide commemoration and the Armenian Church.

• What can happen when the foreign concept of “bridge” enters our vocabulary describing the working of the Church?
• Are we marginalizing the Church or making it relevant?
• Can we change the concept of religiosity from freakishness to action?
• Why do politics always win out over the spiritual?
• What happens when community is taken out of the church and God is only wound-up on Sundays?
• Reverend Father Gomidas. How do clergy of the Armenian Church become national figures?
• Is incense the laughing gas of the church?

The bottom line of this episode: The leadership has accepted the marginalization of the church while the people are looking for “the bridge.” Plus we get a glimpse of the beginning of incubation of the Armenian Church. Gestation period begins – is Armodoxy the product of in vitro fertilization?
