		<title>Protestant Reformers on the Ever-Virginity of Mary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[from Orthodoxwiki.org Though the Orthodox Church does not follow the teachings of the Protestant Reformers, their views regarding the Theotokos&#8217;s ever-virginity are a point of commonality with Orthodoxy. Many of the major figures amongst the Protestant fathers in the faith believed in the Theotokos&#8217;s ever-virginity. John Calvin: He says that she [Mary of Cleophas] was [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Acquisition Of Humility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon Among the imperatives of the Christian moral life, I wonder if any is the occasion of more bewilderment than the call to be humble. This impression arises not only from my own experience of the problem but also from the many times other Christians have asked me, &#8220;How can I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This interview, with Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) is not all about preaching, but he makes the profound and necessary connection between preaching and mission (without which there would be no Church). I&#8217;ve republished the article in its entirety.

		<title>Certainty, Freedom and the Perception of Beauty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon Ever since opening the first volume of Tanquerey&#8217;s Dogmatics more than a half-century ago, I have sensed an ironic problem in the apologetics of modern Christians: An uncertainty about the meaning of certainty. The root of the problem, I believe, is modern philosophy&#8217;s implicit acceptance of rigid scientific and mathematical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unexpected Blessings: Festival of Young Preachers 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Jason Ketz This past autumn, about the time that students hit their post-midterm academic lull, I was presented with a curious opportunity. One of my professors, Fr.

		<title>What The Bible Says About (what we call) Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In preaching about Biblical principles, one must be careful to avoid simple &#8216;proof texting&#8217; to make points, but instead to see the core principles of life and freedom. Rabbi Spero makes this very clear. By Rabbi Aryeh Spero Who would have expected that in a Republican primary campaign the single biggest complaint among candidates would [...]]]></description>
