VOTE: Elevator Evangelism

A while back — HERE — I mentioned the Antiochian Archdiocese’s Department of Missions and Evangelism was sponsoring a contest to see who could write the best 30-second or less explanation of what the Orthodox Church is, essentially an Orthodox “elevator speech”.

Fr Danislav’s Itty Bitty Great Books

Fr Danislav Gregorio is no stranger to the Orthodixie Podcast – twice before, I have interviewed him about his publishing efforts.

First, there was 2007’s An Empty Church is a Peaceful Church – and, just last year, I sat down with Fr Danislav to talk about his last book: Speedy Sacraments for Liturgical Losers.

Well folks, it seems Fr Danislav has been busy!

He stopped by the Orthodixie Studio today to hawk his new publication – a rather ambitious project — a series of Great Books which he has just published!

Welcome, Fr Danislav …

Sad News: Camp St Raphael


“Oh, come on! What Sad News?”


“I hope it’s not about hats.”


“Hel-llllo-o-o-o-o-oo! Anyone still here? Come on in … Sad News!


Hearing the News; abandoned canoes.


Stragglers dally by the water slide (click to enlarge).


Punching bag for anger management, following the News.


Prayers offered, in hopes the Good News proves Sad News a fable.


A sad man faces Dodge Ball desertion … following the News.


“I heard there was sad news … ?”


“You kiddin’ me? What Sad News?”


“Hey guys! Someone’s yelling for us!”


“Everyone out of the lake! Head back to Camp for Sad News!”


(“This whole Sad News bit is totally creeping me out!”)


“What?! Hang on babe, my signal’s weak! Did you say SAD?


Sad?! I thought we were working on Happy!”

What, you ask, is the Sad News?


“Goodbye, Camp St Raphael!”

Until …
next year.
😉

Some cowboys have a wider stance than others.


Man-with-no-horse found that funny.


Trae got guns. (Only in Oklahoma.)


Don’t let this little filly fool ya!


But these here cowpokes are good eggs.


Looks like a mean crowd done crashed the corral.


Deputy Dawg, I’d say.


To serve and protect the women folk …


sometimes ya gotta lock up the crazies.

Prepping for the Camp Pic (CSR Pt 3)


Obviously, everyone got the: MEMO.


Oh, and after breakfast, assemble for the Camp Group Pic.


Wait. Wait. Wait.


Whatchewlookinat?


First, a song by the Counselors: Lean on Me.


Father Time passes by …


By the way: Hi, Miss Sandy!


I‘d suggest, when you’re not strong, leaning on this Chick.


Good grief! “I take that back about leaning on me!”


Awwww. Kinda weird. But, awwwww anyhow.

More pics to come!
