Dixie Missions, Japanese Style
Saint Nikolai Kasatkin (1857-1912) labored as a missionary to Japan for nearly fifty years. When he began his work, the Japanese saw all foreigners as beasts, and Christianity as a villainous sect to which only reprobates and sorcerers could belong. When he reposed, he left behind over 250 Japanese Orthodox communities (oca.org/saints). We Orthodox Christians […]
Orthodoxy in Bayou Land
“Orthodoxy in Bayou Land: The Ancient Faith in Northeast Louisiana”By Walt Garlington It is not unusual to run across ancient things in Northeast Louisiana – Native American arrowheads and burial mounds, old French and Spanish names and settlements, and petrified wood here and there.

Moldova Pilgrimage
Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship co-founder Fr. John Whiteford and his matushka visited Moldova in the summer of 2022.

So, rather than put things off any longer, we have decided to publish essays as they become available. The first, Clark Carlton’s “A Feudal Society without […]
The Shrine of St. Cuthbert
Today, we commemorate St. Bede the Venerable (25 May/7 June). Known as the “Father of English History” and the “Church Historian,” he was a prolific writer, penning the life stories of many Saints, including St. Cuthbert. A “wonderworker of the English land,” St. Cuthbert was commemorated earlier this spring (20 March/2 April) but was also […]
Bless Your Heart — Smallah, Smallah, Smallah!
By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt For the audio version, click here.
