  • There Are No Rules In Christianity

    Fr Gregory Owen

    There are no rules in Christianity. This statement may come as a shock especially if you are an Orthodox Christian. In essence being a Christian means that our life is no longer ours. “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20). I…

  • Way Of The Ascetics by Tito Colliander | Book Review

    Benjamin Cabe

    Way of The Ascetics, by Tito Colliander, is a profound little book that should be a required reading for every Christian. Simple and clear, Colliander proffers the experience of the Orthodox Church together with the fathers about the inner life of the Christian.

  • Motherhood And The Christian Walk

    Guest Author

    I heard the screaming that was only getting louder as I let the dog back in the door. I instructed her to sit, and instead she squatted and immediately proceeded to pee on the rug. Sending her back outside, I growled and stomped off to get a rag. I called up the stairs, “I’ll be…

  • Living A Christian Life Requires Constant Effort

    Benjamin Cabe

    When I was 13-years-old my dad challenged me to do 40 situps every day for two weeks. I informed him after the two weeks that I successfully completed his challenge and planned to continue the exercise. And I did. I kept it up for quite some time. When I began to see the slightest definition…

  • The Monk of Mount Athos | Book Review

    Benjamin Cabe

    The Monk of Mount Athos is a little book that packs a powerful punch. Written by Archimandrite Sophrony, the first half of the book functions as a short biography of Saint Silouan while the second half is an exposition of his spiritual practices and beliefs. As with most works I’ve read about the saints, I…

  • Lectionaries

    Andrew Fisher

    This is an on-going test for how we might be able to format the lectionaries from many of the denominations represented in the Conciliar Post family. I would like the list to the left to populate this space with the text of the lectionary that is clicked. Which should just be a matter of re-hyperlinking…
