For the Love of Sophia

I was exchanging comments with [livejournal.com profile] weret_hekau about my little church on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, the Russian visionary and philosopher who to some extent inspired the ecclesiastical reunion of which it is a forerunner, and the female aspect of God to whom he was devoted, and with whom he had his three visionary meetings.

Here are some links I found:

The Sophia Foundation
J. Boehme and the Russian Sophiological Current, by N. A. Berdyaev
Introduction to Sophiology, from The Truth of Orthodoxy Page

I have been meaning to mention that I walked by your church a couple of weeks ago when I was in New York. It's beautiful. I wish I could have peeked in or looked at the architecture in more detail, but there was a very active street festival going on.
