You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

I'm on it! In about 40 years, I'll let you know how it's going.
Wow. We've been waiting for this for five hundred years. Regensburg failed, but Uncle Tom has a way for us to all get back on board as Protestants and Catholics together. Read the Bible, pray and love one another - it was that simple! Now as long as no-one asks what the Bible we're reading means, what we're praying for and how we should love one another we can hold this thing together ...
Does that mean syriac too...
Aramaic. D'oh.
Amen! But yeah, I'm (more than) a little weak on the original languages myself.
I think my own seminary did a good job of helping us learn to be sensitive and compassionate towards others; but for all the strengths of the Bible classes and spiritual life of the seminary, I really think my own training could have been improved in these areas. But, thankfully, opportunities for prayer and Bible study abound and we aren't limited to the content of our 'official' curriculum.
