Christos Anesti (Christ is risen). Happy Orthodox Easter to those using the Julian Calendar.
This blog seeks to promote and establish ecumenism among all groups and denominations of the Christian Faith via expressions in written language, and through any means of communication. We seek the promotion of others that are working towards the same common goal, as well. The prayer of Jesus in John 17: 21 was: "I pray that they may all be one…." Ultimately and eternally, the creation of unity among all believers and followers of Christ is sought desiring harmony with and for all of humanity.

Don't pass the buck!
In this post I am just sharing a quick ecumenical thought. In life we should try to avoid making others feel like we are passing the buck. If we are going to pass anything, pass the baton letting them know we are all in the same race. If we indeed practice the Golden Rule, I doubt many will misinterpret us. However, everyone has to also do their part. Just checking in, blessings!

Underlying
Whomever you are right now, can you put yourself in another person's shoes?
Can you imagine what someone else feels? If you are getting food late at night at a drive-through window, can you imagine being the person serving you the food on the other side of the window? If you are straight, can you imagine being gay and vice versa? If you are young, can you imagine being old? If you are a man, can you imagine being a woman, and vice versa? Can you imagine the reality? Can you imagine the fears and joys of another?
Every 24 hours we experience both night and day. Every year at the opposite side of winter there is summer, and at the opposite side of fall there is spring. Some days are rainy and some are dry. All is normal, common, and typical.
We are all on the same planet, and connected. Human, we all are! Underlying there is much. Underlying we are all a different world and unique. Regardless of what underlies and how different we may think we are, our planet is a sphere, and it should make us aware of something. On this sphere if we go far enough to the north, we eventually end up going south. And, if we go far enough to the west, we will eventually end up in the east. One day we will easily travel to other planets, and eventually other galaxies. For now, however, we are all here, so let's make the best of it. Do unto others as we would have others do unto us is a good thought to always have underlying.

Blessings and I hope all are doing well! In this post I am
simply sharing an article from the sibling blog, Arango’s Apologetics Page.
Read it at the following link:
Arango's Apologetics Page: What St. Paul Seems to have Basically Believed: St. Paul believed Jesus appeared to him, at least, that is what is written in I Corinthians 15: 8, by himself, supposedly. The story of S...

Palm Sunday
Happy Palm Sunday to all! Perhaps today we are not able to coalesce in a building; however, in thought, in meditation, and in prayer we can always be one in spirit.
