This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.
1. Yesterday, my wife and I were given dinnerware by friends.
2. We ate pasta, olive bread, and ginger molasses cookies from the bakery together.
3. My friend, a monk, read the psalms and said grace.

If God were not on the side of the defeated, it would still be better to be with the defeated. But because God is on the side of the defeated, those who go to the defeated, for whatever reason, are not far from God.
"Because faith has not been killed by the bombs. We priests celebrate two Masses every day, we do Eucharistic adoration, and the faithful participate, entrusting themselves totally to the Lord. These are our weapons."
This is Father Pierre El Rahi. He was killed by the US and Israel in Lebanon. He was a faithful, deeply loved Christian leader… the latest reminder that this war is killing precious people made in the image of God.
finally finished the complete rework of translations for 2 short essays Horkheimer wrote (w/ Adorno) printed alongside the 1st version of Dialectic of Enlightenment in 1944:
“Struggle & Non-Violence”; “Poetry & Morals.”
On militants & martyrs, & the crisis of modern art!

Could probably write something on the Community of the Theophany, a radically pacifist, agrarian, Byzantine rite "new community" in France. I have a recording of their liturgical music on vinyl. I could create hand-dubbed cassettes of this music that would be circulated with the journal/zine.
If this garners enough interest, I will think of putting something together!
You wouldn't have to be Orthodox to submit, only broadly concerned with Orthodoxy (or lower-case "o" orthodoxy) as it relates to these concerns. Something along the lines of Tiqqun, Tolstoy, and the Byzantine rite. But also: original poetry, reflections on literature, art, etc.
