Does the world really need another Orthodox Christian
blogsite? Well, it's up to you to judge. If I get no hits, I can assume the
answer is 'No' and close it down. However, there is always the possibility that
my miscellaneous ramblings on Orthodox themes may strike a chord with some
people, not because they are particularly profound but because they are not.
I am no theologian and it is unlikely that you will find here any great
spiritual truths or soul-searing revelations, merely the random thoughts of
one, not particularly pious, layman. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, any
profundities you find are purely accidental!
I should add that, despite my rapidly whitening hair, I am
still a 'toddler' in the Orthodox Church and, as I stumble my way forward, I
hope that readers will stop me falling flat on my face. The views expressed
here are personal and may well contain misunderstandings, illogicalities and
even downright mistakes. This is me, ‘warts and all,’ what you see is what you
get. I hope you will find no actual heresies but, if any do exist, put them
down to my ignorance. Fortunately, the Orthodox Church has rarely been really
savage towards heretics, and I don't think they ever burned any! In any case, I
trust to God’s infinite love and forgiveness not to damn the soul of one who is
trying to do his best.
Below, you will find my first posting which gives a little
of the background to my spiritual history.
