Blogging Ecumenically: Reinforcement
This post is part of an ongoing series reflecting on Orthodox-Catholic online dialogue, originally delivered at the “That They May Be One” Conference. A second way in which Orthodox and Catholic writers at Conciliar Post dialogue with one another is through what I call “reinforcement,” namely, a reinforcement of disagreements. In these instances, after a)Continue reading “Blogging Ecumenically: Reinforcement”
Blogging Ecumenically: Cooperation
This post is part of an ongoing series reflecting on Orthodox-Catholic online dialogue, originally delivered at the “That They May Be One” Conference. First, there is Orthodox-Catholic cooperation, especially cooperation against common theological opponents.

Blogging Ecumenically: Introductory Period
This post is part of an ongoing series reflecting on Orthodox-Catholic online dialogue, originally delivered at the “That They May Be One” Conference. Orthodox-Catholic dialogue on Conciliar Post typically begins with a short introductory period.

Blogging Ecumenically: Background
This post is part of an ongoing series reflecting on Orthodox-Catholic online dialogue, originally delivered at the “That They May Be One” Conference.

This semester has been quite busy so far, with our buying our first home along with my ‘normal’ duties of PhD coursework, research assistance, teaching Sunday School, leading a community group, managing Conciliar Post, and staying on top of all my other writings andContinue reading “Conferencing and Blogging”

The Church Prospers…
My “other” blogging venture (Conciliar Post) has been running a series of thought-provoking quotes on their Facebook page over the past week or so (include this one). If you’re interested in faithful and serious dialogue across Christian traditions, I’d encourage you to check out Conciliar Post and the work that’s being pursued over there. OnContinue reading “The Church Prospers…”
Reflections on Communion
These reflections originally appeared as part of a Round Table discussion at Conciliar Post. What is communion and how does it impact my faith? For me, Communion is the sacramental participation in the body and blood of our Lord Jesus, a visible and real “joining together” with our Lord that, among other things, is aContinue reading “Reflections on Communion”
