Happy Thanksgiving!

by

Gail and I wish to with you all a happy Thanksgiving.  We appreciate each and every one of you –your readership, kind words, the give-and-take, as well as your support.

We also appreciate your patience, it was touch-and-go there for several months earlier this year and you stood by us as we wrestled with our issues.  And for that, we can’t thank you enough.

We have long viewed this blog as a labor of love and we hope to continue along this path for the foreseeable future.

Pax!  Let’s try to love one another.

 

P.S.  The painting used for the thumbnail is attributed to Léon Trousset and is titled “Father’s Serra’s Landing Place”.  It depicts St Junípero Serra celebrating Mass in Monterey, California on 3 June 1770. The painting depicts St Junípero at the altar, beneath the Vizcaíno-Serra Oak, surrounded by the members of the Gaspar de Portolà expedition. The original painting is held by the California Historical Society.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving to our esteemed hosts!

    And not sure at all where to post this, but I’m looking for any information any reader may have on the outcry about “Christian Nationalism” by the National Council of Churches Annual Christian Unity Gathering that the OCA participated in? I read the document they approved and was taken back by it, especially how it calls out Russia for Christian Nationalism. (Mother Russia, who we all look to as not Christian Nationalism but instead Christian Renaissance!). And why are Orthodox churches part of this ecumenical nonsense?
