or better yet, that line and those immediately around it in +John Chrysostomos' Paschal Sermon and drop it on the minister at the next bible study.

I'm actually working on a presentation/message on the Resurrection that will quote that. I think it's a much more mature understanding of resurrection than "Jesus coming to get us before we die."

Astonish your friends; confound your enemies! :)

Actually, many of my friends are pretty theologically literate. One of my best friends teases me about becoming much more Catholic in my understandings. Another - who is studying to be a Navy Chaplain (interesting story - a secular Jew who is now a Baptist seminarian) is as intrigued by Orthodoxy as I am. Still, I am more Latin than Orthodox (probably because of my Western mindset).

Sorry but this post caught my eye. The "Coming Home Network" on EWTN just had a US Army Chaplain, a priest, who converted from Protestantism. The show was marvelous. He mentioned that he is involved with several Protestant Chaplains who are going to become Catholics this Easter. Fr. Rohen was not married so he could be and was ordained. He was a Pastor in Montana before being sent to Iraq.

God bless!
