    Next Step with Fr. Vazken #736 - July 14, 2022 - Following the money, in politics dripping into religion. Getting past the facts and finding what it true - religion and more. Blessings, luck and the need to deal or not: Would you give up money to make more? Psychological look at the drive to make more.

  • Forgiveness & Freedom
    Next Step #735: Back in 2007, on this day, we established the Day of Forgiveness based on Christ’s principle of forgiving without limit. Here’s another reminder of the dimensions of forgiveness and leading to freedom. A shooting in Chicago is the latest of a string of shootings in a country that is struggling with freedom and the control of that freedom. Here are the links to today’s topics.

  • The Words after Roe
    Next Step with Fr. Vazken #734: The Supreme Court overturns Constitutional guarantees of Roe vs. Wade. Here’s a look beyond the usual, as Fr. Vazken begins with a log and finds the speck. A dictionary for the terms and much more. Misled conservatism through the network. Links for this episode

  • Children Unheard
    Next Step with Fr. Vazken #732: Whether children of war or those who suffer the effects of autism, it’s the Church that is the Body of Christ in this world today. Pope Francis, Little Red Riding Hood and the bad wolf: WW3? Jesus and the problem of unchosenness. Fr. Vazken discusses the challenge of a war that is forgotten and points to a new ministry initiated in the Western Diocese, to families challenged by autism.

  • Infinity and Eternity in the Highlands

    Next Step with Fr. Vazken #731: A conversation with Dr. Marina Mchitarian-Lazaridou, Ph.D., A scientist with artistic interests, who opens the door and mind for a conversation on peace. An international traveler and scholar who gives language to photographs that tell a story of a people, a history, a philosophy and a way of life. In this interview, Dr. Mkhitaryan talks about her own spiritual journey through science, physics, her baptism and her expressions. The fifth dimension / “the Divine dimension”: A dialogue with God. Home and identity. “Peace building” – more than an absence of war.

  • Don't Look Up
    Next Step with Fr. Vazken #729: Ascension… The story of Christ continues through the Church with a strict command to NOT look up. The work of the Church is around us. The shooting in Texas, the death of children, and conditions of the world… where then to look? Beyond the “whys” is the “where” – making sense of faith on the street and not in the books… The Next Step is a step toward Armodoxy.
