Dreaming Beyond a Speech and into Syria

Next Step #273 – August 29, 2013

50 years after Rev. Dr. Martin Luther Kings Jr’s “I have a Dream Speech,” Fr. Vazken shares some thoughts and offers a challenge to dream of peace – bringing about peace without the use of violence. With the imminent threat of war in Syria, a candid look at our faith – do we really believe that we can overcome evil with love? Do we believe there are non-violent alternatives to threats of death and annihilation? Also a discussion of chickens and headless existence (in the context of the Armenian Church and Armodoxy)
