Steve the Builder on "Man as Meat"

In part five of the “On the Road” series, Steve the Builder stopped in front of whore house in the middle of the Nevada desert. Sex and death are inextricably intertwined in the human being. That is why the Playmate Ranch is the perfect icon of our fallen humanity.

As plans are moving ahead for the convening of preparatory meetings for a Great and Holy Council to take place in Cyprus in June 2009, you need to prepare yourself for what is at stake through these meetings.  How can you prepare yourself?  Pray that the Holy Spirit guide the participants and read this timely volume: Orthodox Christianity at the Crossroad: A Great Council of the Church – When and Why

One of the many tracts that the Orthodox Christian Laity (OCL) organization has distributed during its twenty years of service to Holy Orthodoxy in North America is An Orthodox Christian Church in the United States: Unified and Self-governed, copyrighted in 2000. It is given out at all meetings and sent to the mailing list of the organization. On the outside back cover is a statement entitled “Resolution for Autocephaly Adopted October 10, 1998,” in which an appeal is made to His All Holiness, Bartholomew, and to the SCOBA to further the “establishment of a united autocephalous Orthodox Church in America.”

Orthodoxy today is at a crossroads in America and throughout the world, writes George C. Michalopulos in Canon 28 and Eastern Papalism: Cause or Effect? on the main page of AOI. One of the great challenges facing us is inter-Orthodox cooperation. Specifically, how are new mission fields identified? And how are they granted autocephaly? What is the purpose of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and by what authority does it claim primatial honors?

Michalopulos’ essay examines the primatial claims of the Church of Constantinople and specifically, Canon 28 of the Council of Chalcedon, which has become the proof-text of recent Constantinopolitan claims which have startled many in the Orthodox world.
