Welcome!
I write and speak on a wide range of topics – movie reviews, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the pro-life cause, marriage, family, and the culture. The most recent articles are below, but by clicking on Essays you can view all titles sorted by category. And you can also sign up for the email list to receive new essays as they are published.
So far I’ve published eight Books, and I travel to Speaking Engagements all year round; this Calendar will let you know when I’m in your neighborhood. Beliefnet.com has included some short videos of me in their "Preachers and Teachers" section. And if you have questions about Orthodoxy, you’ll find help on these Links. Make yourself at home.
