My Interview with Brother Augustine

Recently, I had the pleasure of talking with Michael Witcoff, aka Brother Augustine, one of the Orthodox wunderkinder who are making names for themselves as podcasters (you should check him out).   Michael has had an interesting journey into the Faith.  Raised in a secular (non-believing) Jewish home, he was at various times an atheist, occultist, […]

The Great Debate That Never Was

Over the last few years, yours truly has been subjected to a barrage of emails from a certain fairly renowned  iconographer who fancies himself an ardent apologist for Istanbul.  (Now, I’m being charitable.)  What’s been heaped on my plate by this fellow who calls himself Hagiographos [Iconographer] Elias Damianakis Archon Maestor of the Great Church […]

Contra Fordham(ites)

Well, our good buddies over at Fordham, champions of the Alphabet People (and other Jesuit-approved intersectionalities), have taken the Philip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship to task. One of their partisans, a certain Dr Aram G Sarkisian, recently wrote something scathing in Public Orthodoxy about Orthodoxy in the South entitled “Orthodox America Has a Lost Cause […]
