A New Ancient Faith Blog

Will there be limits on what he discusses?

Fr Daniel Greeson (Class of '18) has begun a “new venture,” launching a blog commissioned by @ancientfaith! "Every Thought Captive" aims to provide Orthodox Christian commentary on contemporary social, political, and moral issues. #AlumniInMinistry https://t.co/VVOfcjfvky pic.twitter.com/gxHK9ng1i4

Blogs cannot replace familiarity with Tradition, genuine liturgical spirituality, and a good spiritual father, whether this be a monk or one's parish priest. Are the electronic mass media more effective than books or print journals? Or do they work against actual learning?

Her blog: Unequally Yoked - her announcement of her conversion to the Catholic Christianity.

Her book does deal with prayer; it could be more useful than the typical Catholic chick book. I have no idea what her position on feminism is.

It's been a while since I've dropped by his blog, but Mr. JC is still blogging, though the blog has a new name: New Sherwood.

More on my plans for the blog

Did I note that the No Left Turn blog ended in May? Probably not. I used to read it regularly, back when I first started graduate school and was still disentangling myself from neoconservatism/the Nationalist Myth/and the Yankee mindset. I eventually stopped reading it. I've substituted "My Blog List" and "Favorite Websites" for the "Items of Interests" posts, though I may still produce some from time to time. How many of these websites and blogs will still be relevant to me in 5 or 10 years?

I will try to finish up some posts on political theory and communitarianism and the lay vocation, but soon I will be taking a break from blogging in order to focus on more important projects. We'll see if that time away will enhance my ability to write and research.

Apparently IE8 is no longer supported by Blogger, so I've switched to Chrome as the back-up, casual browser.

Ferdinand Bardamu says goodbye

His websites will be gone relatively soon.
