Fr. James Bernstein's New Book
"Surprised by Christ is an autobiography, an intellectual history, and a conversion story, and more than these, conveys a spiritual and theological vision in a message that touches people from many different backgrounds. That vision is of the Living God revealed in Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant, the life of the Faithful, the hope of the despairing, and the motivation for those who strive to preach the Gospel in all its integrity."
-- Hieromonk Jonah (Paffhausen), Abbot of St. John of San Francisco Monastery in Manton, California

Saint John Chrysostom Concerning The Fast
The value of fasting consists not in the abstinence only from food, but in a relinquishment of sinful practices, since he who limits his fasting only to an abstinence from meat is he who especially disparages it. Do you fast? Give me proof of it by your works. If you see a poor man, take pity on him! If you see a friend enjoying honor, do not envy him. for let not the mouth only fast, but also the eye, and the ear, and the feet, and the hands, and all the members of our bodies. Let the hands fast by being pure of avarice. Let the feet fast by ceasing from running to forbidden spectacles. Let the eyes fast by being taught never to fix themselves rudely upon handsome countenances. For looking is the food of the eyes, but if it be unlawful or forbidden it mars the fast and overturns the safety of the soul; but if it be lawful and safe, it adorns fasting. For it would be an instance of the highest absurdity to abstain from meats and unlawful food because of the fast, but with the eyes to feed on what is forbidden. Do you not eat flesh? Do not feed on licentiousness by means of the eyes. Let the ear fast also. The fasting of the ear is not to receive evil speaking and calumnies. 'You shall not receive an idle report,' it says. Let also the mouth fast from foul words. For what does it profit if we abstain from birds and fish, and bite and devour our brethren?
—Saint John Chrysostom, Lenten Homily

Indonesian Missionary Speaker Cancelled - Pray for Fr. Gregory
Dear Brethren,
Fr Gregory was the only Orthodox priest serving on the huge Indonesian Island of Sulawesi also called Celebes. He served the town of Manado.
He leaves behind a wife and one year old daughter. Fr Gregory had been riding a motorcycle which is a common means of transportation there when he was hit by the car.
Fr Daniel Byantoro who has been staying at our home this week is postponing his speaking tour in Eastern Washington (scheduled for this coming week) in order to fly back for the funeral in Indonesia.
He is scheduled to fly out late Friday night.
Fr Daniel says that Fr Gregory was like a son to him and was in training to assist him in his ministry.

Fr. Daniel Byantoro Speaking on "The Church in Indonesia"
**CANCELLED**
Excerpt from Fr. Michael:
I'm sorry to have to announce that Fr. Daniel Byantoro, founder of the Orthodox Church in Indonesia will not be coming to our area due to a tragedy in Indonesia. A young Indonesian priest was killed tragically in an auto accident...Please pray for the soul of Fr. Gregory, and for his wife and young child.
Fr. Daniel is a powerful speaker and witness to the Orthodox Faith and a
convert to Islam. Through his efforts about 3,000 Indonesians have
converted to Orthodox Christianity (beginning with his own Muslim family)
and he has established over 30 parishes there. For this his life has been
threatened more than once.
