How Much is that Dogma in the Window?
Commenter Jack Heron always brings well-thought-out ideas to the table here at the iMonastery. He has now stepped up with a very good look at the topic of dogma. Read carefully and comment accordingly, iMonks. JD by Jack Heron Having a dogma is a tricky thing. It’s irregularly conjugated, for a start: My dogma irresistiblyContinue reading “How Much is that Dogma in the Window?”
In Love’s Service Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve: A New Yorker’s Reflections on 9/11
Guest Post by R-J Heijmen Note from CM: Mockingbird is one of the finest, most interesting blogs you will read on the web right now. Their ministry is located in Charlottesville, VA, but for the first three years of operations, their offices were at Calvary Episcopal Church in New York City. As I was thinkingContinue reading “In Love’s Service Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve: A New Yorker’s Reflections on 9/11”
9/11 — Reflections on Disappointing Reactions
Note from CM: Regular iMonk readers will recognize the voice of Eagle, one of the faithful members of our online discussion community. Eagle says he is an agnostic, and he has certainly been through the wringer when it comes to negative experiences with religious types, including the “fundagelicals.” We love having him here. He keepsContinue reading “9/11 — Reflections on Disappointing Reactions”

How to win an argument . . . like a Christian
By Guest Blogger Andy Zehner Chaplain Mike made a nice post last Friday regretting what happens when Christians get “political.” By adding my own bit here I affirm what he said. Anything we do from a desire to score off someone else is wrong. But there’s another point I would add. It is too smallContinue reading “How to win an argument . . . like a Christian”
Ben Hur and the Nativity
Guest Post by Andy Zehner The readers of iMonk can, I’m sure, give a very good account of the theology of the Incarnation and the fulfillment in Christ of Messianic prophesies. Many can recite the second chapter of Luke from “And it came to pass in those days . . .†to “But Mary keptContinue reading “Ben Hur and the Nativity”

I have not focused on specific differences between traditions within the WesternContinue reading “Church Year Spirituality: The Eastern Orthodox Calendar”
