Fr. Vazken on nightmares: Loss of control is the common denominator in all of them. The loss of the rule of law that we feel today and the loss of the appellate process. Rewriting History: Smithsonian to the Rwandan Museum. Where to protest or appeal?  The Spirit of 1927 continues in a people of 2026: 1927 Independence Day Photo and now (2026) Reenacting it.  The pawns of politics. Finding the Person of Truth. St. Nersess Shnorhali offers the primer.

Next Step #808 – November 15, 2025 – The delicate and not-so-delicate balance of the church-state relationship in Armenia. Fr. Vazken shares ideas on the situation that has too many people discussing and hashing out issues outside their range of influence. Detractions: a way of the covering up problems on the national level. Ararat was dismissed from the passport stamp. (Even in Soviet times, Ararat was prominent on the emblem. Learned: Purpose of all institutions is self-perpetuation. Learned: The reason for four walls in a church. Discovered: the reason for four corners of a church. The prefixes that need to be revisited by Christians, such as “Judeo” defining Christian. “Pluribus” and a world with peace and harmony?  AI comes up with the new definition of “OG” when pertaining to Epostle and the teachings. Free speech and Skokie Illinois and the ACLU.  First stop for religious education.
