Dr. Edith Humphrey considers the Judges’ parable of the bramble and the trees, and the most famous of the Servant Songs of Isaiah, to illuminate the godly vs. self-seeking ambition, and the New Testament readings for this week.

Dr. Humphrey looks at the Gospel reading for Sunday and reflects on St. Photini as an example of one redeemed by Christ in spite of her background.

This Friday, July 22nd, Eastern and Western Christians honor St. Mary Magdalene, Equal-to-the-Apostles. We consider, by reference to Old and New Testament texts, what her particular role in the Church can teach us about communion with each other, and with the LORD.

Today, on what has unfortunately become a merely “secular” festival, we recover a deeper Valentine’s message by considering what our faith has to say about romance and true love. We look at the life of the third century St. Valentine, and consider Hebrews 13:4, Genesis 1 and 2, Ephesians 5; and the book of Tobit (especially 8:4-8).
