Fr. Anthony Perkins

Fr. Harry Linsinbigler

How God forms us as His sacred royal family

Made to Be a Kingdom

Segueing from Fr. Harry's observations about worship in the last episode on his pilgrimage on Mt. Athos, Fr. Harry leads us in a discussion of the various positions of prayer (and there's more to it than standing and prostrations). Enjoy the show!

Traditional Postures of Prayer

Each of the Nativity Gospels in the Four Gospels is unique, but rather than being contradictory, Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony encourage us to celebrate the unity of their witness. Enjoy the show!

On the Nativity - the Unified Witness of the Four Gospels

In today's episode, Fr. Harry talks with Fr. Anthony about St. Paul's instruction to the Church in Corinth that "everything be done decently and in good order" (1 Corinthians 14:40), applying it to the challenges that come to decency and order in parish life and describing how good ecclesiology and love deal with those challenges. Enjoy the show!

Prophecy, Good Order, and Ungoverned Spaces

Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony respond to a listener's question about His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios of Tirana, Durrës and All Albania of blessed memory - may his memory be eternal! This led to a discussion about autocephaly, patriarchates, metropolitanates, eparchies, and parishes. Lord willing, future episodes will explore these and other ecclesial issues using Fr. Harry's book; "Christ's Amazing Church: A Journey in Orthodox Ecclesiology" as its guide. Enjoy the show!

From Patriarchs to Parishes

Today Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony start covering the major themes in Fr. Harry's book; "Christ's Amazing Church: A Journey in Orthodox Ecclesiology," focusing on what it means for the Church to be the Body of Christ. Enjoy the show!

Christ is the Foundation of Ecclesiology

Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony continue exploring the major topics in "Christ's Amazing Church," looking at how dogma, doctrine, teaching, and theological opinions protect and nourish the Body of Christ. Enjoy the show!

Boundaries of Ecclesiology

Today, Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony talk about the words "ecclesia" and "church" and how they should and should not be applied. Specifics covered include correcting the conception of the invisible Church; the church as a place vs. the Church as the body of Christ; and what it is that makes a given place/community "Church" or "not-Church." Enjoy the show!

Ecclesiology - what is and isn't a Church

Each of us as an Orthodox Christian is set apart and sealed to be a royal and priestly intercessor for our family and neighborhood, circle of friends, and our parish, and our land. Many are very unaware of this, especially in specific terms, and are unaware of the impact it has and the great connection of generations accomplishing this renewing of our local circumstanced by God through us. However, what is more widely unknown is that we are all in a very direct sense intercessors not only for these local circumstances but also for the human race and for the entire world, and furthermore how the world would look without us fulfilling this role and how the world DID look without it.

We Are Made to Be a Kingdom

We are not all ordained priests, but we are all priests. In the Old Covenant, priests were made priests with chrism, and there were very few. In the Old Covenant kings and queens, and inheriting royalty were made kings and queens with chrism, and they were very few. In the New Covenant, all are chosen to a royal priesthood, known as the Church, with Holy Chrism. When we say royal priesthood, we are simply talking about Christ’s Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church, of which we are all a part.

Chrismating the Royal Priesthood

Many people still tend to think of the Orthodox Church as the “true denomination” rather than as the manifestation of the fullness of the Heavenly Church of Christ on earth. We see this even with the terminology we use. “I used to be Catholic but now I am Orthodox.” Or “I used to be Episcopalian but now I am Orthodox.” This seems to indicate that the person still has a view of denominationalism. I was one denomination but now I am another. This should stop. We are the continuation of the ancient Church of Christ. This whole idea of denominations came with the protestant reformation. The Orthodox Church is the House of the Fullness of the Faith.

A Holy Catholic Orthodox Priesthood

The place of vacation and leisure in the lives of children of God’s Kingdom. How do we strike a balance? Often vacations are not restful. How do we fit in rest?
