Anthony demonstrates the challenge of pollen and sudafed-affected thinking, offering a meditation on the ease of doing theology wrong (as the iconoclasts did), the importance of finding a source we can trust (e.g. the Church and its Divine Liturgy), and of letting the Church's way of discerning become our way.

info_outlineEphesians 2:14-22 (wall of separation), Luke 10:25-37 (eye of the camel). In this homily (hostage situation?), Fr. Anthony notes how far our experience is from that promised by the Gospel. He suggests that it is our unwillingness to take our commitment to perfection (I have united myself to Christ!) seriously. He provides ways to gauge our spiritual maturity (how we respond to praise and criticism; how tightly we hold onto ideas and things that are not necessary) and offers the Orthodox Way as the most efficient way to increase the ability of God's grace to lift us into His Kingdom. Enjoy the show!
