The Working Man

by Fr. Anastasios Hudson When people meet me, they are usually surprised to learn that not only am I an Orthodox Christian priest, but that I also work as a Computer Network Consulting Engineer.

Maybe Not Rock Stars

June 27, 2011 Filed under: Leave a Comment

from the blog Breathing Exercises One of the very interesting things to me about Christian communities is that they are in some way meant to be a priesthood.

Man As Priest Of Creation

On The Holy Priesthood

June 18, 2011 Filed under: 1 Comment
