seraphimsigrist is concerned that all I post these days seems to be political; the poetry and the humor are gone. Perhaps that is so and if so, perhaps it is wrong, even an aviodable wrong. Still, I commend Fascietta Nera to your historical imagination.
In other news,davemac has sent me a link to a new Online Orthodox Catechism based on The Mystery of Faith by Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev. I find it impressive, though I haven't had a chance to study it thoroughly. I will have to keep my eye out for the book.
This outline might be of particular interest to my friends who identify themselves as Christian but are not very familiar with Orthodoxy, and my friends who are all too familiar with non-Orthodox Christianity, and identify themselves as non-Christian. Not that I expect or even wish any of either to be converted -- except to an enhanced appreciation of a great tradition too little known in North America.
