Both of my ears were insensible to the meaning of his words and vainly did I attempt to explain their beauty to the unconscious organs of hearing. Great talk. I love Fr. Stephen.
Fr. Bless: Finally, a Christian who does not arrogantly believe that we should spread our American form of Christianity to the rest of the world. On the contrary, we are the greatest mission field. Agreed!
‘You are material’ (1:10.00 approx) - hearing that said has just finally enabled me to accept Spinoza’s description of ‘the mind as the idea of the body’. I’ve been struggling with this for a long time and hearing you describe the visceral corporeal relationship and connection with sacred ritual (Holy Water, Bread & Wine, Icon .... etc) just made a shift in my awareness. I can’t necessarily say I ‘understand’ as in defend it in an intellectual discussion, but there was a blockage in my awareness and receptivity which has now gone. I have no ‘idea’ what that means, but I sense a very different quality of awareness - sense that is, not ‘think’ and if feels like a huge relief and something quite natural. I had a secular upbringing.
My left ear loved this.
My right ear loved this talk!

I've never really had my western ideas challenged in this way. This lecture has given me lots to think about! Love from an Anglican. :)
Mind blown at the C S Lewis section...happening now in 2023!
Wow. Just wow.
Amen!
isn't it Ironic that all surveys conducted show that Religious people are the happiest people and Atheists tell us the goal of life is to be happy?
Bless you!
interesting. You may find my patristic talks interesting.
Where is the evidence?
The irony is that this man is not a Christian,
There's i Bekause there is one Christ/one faith. -Josef
Why do you not think that this man is being grafted into the Body of Christ?
truthaboveagenda What?
My comment is a way of asking why you say that this man, this priest, "is not a Christian." Why is this man "not a Christian?"
Are you directing this comment to me or to truthaboveagenda?
