The Past, the Present, and the Future - A Reflection

De unione ecclesiarum presents a well-reasoned reflection on the present world situation, Christian hope, and human responsibility. I encourage all to read it. It is entitled "On time passing".

A snippet (that reveals little of the main thrust of the post) is here to peak your interest:
None of this is perhaps very important. Yet it helps give me a sense of
perspective on current events. Two years, or twenty five years, or seventy
years, is not a long time in historical terms, much less so in geological ones.
Human life is very brief. But, by the same token, much can change in a very
short time.

Bekkos speaks to the Unity of the Faith

Over at De unione ecclesiarum, Peter Gilbert has posted an excerpt of Patriarch John (Bekkos) of Constantinople presenting a clarification of the Roman Church's meaning and intention in the addition of filioque to the Creed. It's a must read!

PS, the previous entry is also worth the time.
