Dr. Clark Carlton is smart, opinionated, and right about a lot of things. He’s not afraid of the dust his ideas stir up either. Here Dr. Carlton examines Progressive ideology. While Dr. Carlton he does not examine the confusion that results when Progressives adopt the vocabulary of the moral tradition to defend policies inimical to it (an affliction apparent in some of our leaders), he’s unsparing in his description about where this confusion will lead us. Take a listen, but fasten your seat belts first.

Two Podcasts from Fr. Peter Heer on New Martyr Fr. Daniel Sysoev [AUDIO]

2 Comments

The is a broad-ranging talk containing many good ideas that reveal deep insight about living our faith in Christ in modern culture.

About Fr Peter Heer: From his mountaintop village, Petrokerasa, Greece, Fr. Peter Heer shares with us his ten years of experience of living the Faith and serving the Church in Greece, and in particular the ancient Church of the Thessalonians. It was to the Church of Thessalonica that the Apostle Paul preached the Faith 2,000 years ago and the wonderworker and hierarch Holy Gregory Palamas expounded his divine theology more than 500 years ago. On visits to parishes and monasteries, and in interviews with clergy and laymen, Fr. Peter, as an American convert, introduces us to the ancient practice of the Church in Greece in terms and ways we can readily understand and apply to our contemporary way of life.

The New Martyr Father Daniel and the Royal Path in the Mission of the Church

Fr. Daniel Sysoev

Father Peter spoke to a gathering of clergy and lay people in Athens recently and pointed to the witness of the new martyr of Moscow, the missionary priest Father Daniel Sysoev, as a model for mission work today. Father Daniel walked the “Royal Path” of the Church, avoiding two extremes, that of indifference to the person from the right and indifference to the Truth from the left.
