[Ancient Faith Radio, August 9, 2007]
Hi, this is Frederica Mathewes-Green. I’m in the car; there’s cars going by
me. I’m on I-95 south, driving from
Baltimore to Washington. And I was just
thinking that sometimes I’m comforted with the thought that I’m going to die
someday.
I’m going to give a speech this morning and it’s hard to
write. It’s hard to write and speak in
contexts other than Orthodox for me, because when I talk to secular people or
to other sorts of Christians, the whole worldview, the whole framework, the
whole vocabulary is so different from what I’ve gotten used to and come to love
so much in Orthodoxy. And I’ve got a
speech I’ve been writing for the last several weeks; it’s three times as long
as the time they’ve given me to speak.
I’m so anxious to be able to express what I’m saying without being
misunderstood. And, you know, that’s
tiring.
