Dear Souls -
Six months have passed since I began this small Orthodox home here on the Web, and I want to update you on my plans and progress. I continue to publish my own musings here alongside ancient writings from the past, to help guide your travel along a simple and quieter path toward wiser living. I stick to wise words of souls past and navigate around issues of doctrine.
Doctrine divides, but I believe our common ground lies in the wisdom from a time long ago; applying this wisdom in our actions of everyday living is the true challenge. Amidst the background noise of contemporary society and the easy distraction of the heavy details of religion, we often detour away from the path of simple, wise living.
The works I cite here come from a variety of ancient sources including the era of our Early Church Fathers (approx. 100-800) to the Middle Ages (approx. 800-1500), and even a glimpse at writings from after the sixteenth century. My hope is you will dig deeper on your own, and find your own words of simple wisdom buried in the bottomless treasure chest of ancient writings.
I'm grateful to Fr. Jon Braun for sharing his homilies here with TRUE WISDOM RADIO. If you are here for only a quick visit, please ignore my ramblings and listen to at least one of Fr. Jon's homilies. TRUE WISDOM RADIO was the surprise result of my badgering Fr. Jon to share his wisdom here; he provides a breadth of theological wisdom I lack.
In my efforts to provide a cyber-taste of the Orthodox faith, TRUE WISDOM RADIO includes a sample of music from Orthodox liturgy and worship. Orthodoxy is a full sensory experience, though I'm still searching for a tutorial on how to add incense to the Web.
About myself you need to know little; I call myself a cradle Orthodox Christian, but doesn't that just mean I originate from an ancient Faith? While you're here visiting I'll share with you some of the wisdom I've learned from my ancestors over the years . . .
But, here lies a path towards wisdom.
Yours, Prudence
