EL TONTO POR CRISTO
Editorial Note: I have trusted Google Meet for six years, but today it betrayed me tremendously. There is some bug it has with file type compatibility where it works online in workspace, but I had to troubleshoot for hours to get that downloaded file to be compatible with Substack. Youtube is of...

Mount of Olives
The Fifth Sunday of the Great Fast, Lent in the EOTC, is called Mount of Olives. Pascha is a stone’s throw away. Keep fighting. The lectionary assigns the Gospel According to Matthew Chapter 24 to be read aloud before the great gathering (Psalm 39/40:9). I was called upon, by my former and…

Hate Your Father
Here is a guest spot from last Sunday (11/30/25 A.D.) at Abouna Lazarus’ Christ the Good Shepherd Coptic Orthodox Church in the LBC (Long Beach, CA). I was home for the holidays. I hope that you are edified by my words as I was edified by the words of the gospel and the eucharistic liturgy which…

The Martyrs of Arethas
My top piece here at ARB is my book review of Saints of Ethiopia by Scriptorium Press. This video is a reading of Chapters 7, 8, and 9, with the most minimal commentary short of no commentary. I hope you enjoy the reading, buy and read the whole book, and share this scary and spooky story with...

On Orthodoxy
When maximally polemical, I refer to the communion that I serve as deacon in as Apostolic Orthodoxy; short for the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. This is the communion that began in Alexandria and Antioch, very quickly added Armenia and Aksum, and one thousand years later grafted in…

The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuściński
They say the number one way to get you to read or hear something is to be recommended it by someone whom you trust. A dear reader (and hearer) recommended the True Anon broadcast to me with gumption, and I gave it a try. I like it in the way that you smell something you do not like but it is so...

Guest Spot
Friend of the online zine and show, Childish Wiseguy, invited me to speak to his adult English group that he runs for his Eritrean Orthodox parish in London, United Kingdom. The advantage of this digital age is that geographic distance and eight hours of time zone difference are stumbling blocks...

On Intercession
There are bishops in the Ethiopian synod right now that should immediately repent or be defrocked for denying the intercession and mediation of Christ (Romans 8:34; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:15). They tried to excommunicate my beloved former bishop his beatitude Abune Barnabas. They failed again....

Stephanos means Crown (of glory)
This is an audio recording of my homily from the throne of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church’s bishop of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. I delivered this homily during communion, and the cameraman rightly took the camera away from the mystery of qwrban (qurban; sacrifice; communion), whilst...

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and…
