How nice to hear a “Blogger Priest”. Your son was right to bring you into the present day because you have much to offer. Please continue to do so. Your posts, while a bit long, are however, ripe for discussion. Your candor is appreciated.
Father Schmemman seemed to be anti-government for his solution of social problems – I reconcile this with being anti-soviet – and for the individual through his church to solve community’s problems. How do you reconcile Father Schemman’s thoughts with your thoughts about the Enlightenment(Jefferson, etc.) and the individual. Thank you. Chris
I need a little help – to which of my comments on the Enlightenment are you referring? I am not sure exactly to what you are referring. Sorry.
Greetings from a fellow Russian Orthodox Christian in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Keep writing, your works are very much appreciated!

I’m glad I found your blog, and added it to my blogroll.
Bless me, Father.
I am writing a paper on the Orthodox Bishops and globalization for the School of Community and Public Service at the University of Massachusetts. I’m wondering if you would be willing to answer a few questions about how the bishops deal with the immigration and telecommunication aspects of globalization. Please, email and I’ll send the questions to you.

It’s great to find your blog, father. Greetings from an Indonesian Orthodox youth!

Pingback: Chambesy and the Ecumenical Patriarch
Hi, Fr. Ted. I would like permission to substantially post most of your post on “Considering Chambesy: … on my blog.
I’m ok with that. I only ask that you include links back to the original blogs so that people can see the entire originals if they so desire.
I’m still trying to learn how to accomplish this. My few readers will have to access this sites by their names until I can accomplish this. I’m not very technical.
I found one of your articles here:
http://www.oodegr.com/oode/grafi/keimena/o_vs_masorit_1.htm
(translated in Greek). So I looked you up on your blog and found out that you’re also from Ohio, and an Ohio State Alum!
Keep up the good work! Go Buckeyes!
Thanks for letting me know about this. It is the amazing thing about blogging and the Internet – you never know where in the world something you wrote might appear (for good or ill!).
Father Ted,
Thank you for doing this blog. They have been very inspiring and thought provoking. Thank you, also, for being there for my mother, Freda.
Bless father,
I need a permission to translate some of your articles into Arabic. Some interesting subjects are not treated well enough in Arabic.
Pray for me
You have my permission. Let me know what kind of response you get.
I will. Thanks.
Bless father
Dear Fr. Ted,
You’re clearly on a roll…keep em coming. You are illuminating the path more clearly than anyone else right now.
I hope you don’t mind what i did with your articles at http://members5.boardhost.com/STANDREWHOUSE/msg/1285537849.html and http://members5.boardhost.com/STANDREWHOUSE/msg/1285338899.html
It was the only way I could “point” our facebook page dedicated to Orthodox Episcopal Assembly to them. You’ll see I also provided links to your blog at the bottom of the page.
You’re not too far from us (St Andrew House is in Detroit)…we need to get together! Perhaps we can meet at Bp Mark’s Chancery for lunch?
Best Regards,
Dean Calvert
I would like to do that sometime. We’ll have to work on a date to meet.
Thanks for your comments.
