1 St. Paul, MN May 2009 Volume 15, Issue 5 ST. GEORGE GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH Glad Tidings An Interview with Ron Moore, part 2 Starting with the contemporary catalog, more Orthodox artists were added, and some solid artistic and theologically sound non Orthodox songs too. With the traditional liturgical catalog, the non English, heavily ethnic and operatic works were weeded out, and replaced with more Western voices, (Eikona and works from some monasteries), mostly in English. Asking many people for opinions, it became clear that the pop praise and worship catalog of CCM Radio was bothering more Orthodox than not. Having personally come through that genre, as a charismatic Protestant with a guitar, I too felt that the worship we have found in the Ancient Faith transcends what we had, and we decided it best to take most of the pop praise and worship out of the play list. More music has been added, along with speaking programs from OCN, short sayings of the Church Fathers, and more. Since then, the listener numbers have been jumping up exponentially, and we are hearing from all over the world of new listeners daily. OB: How do you select music to play on the Ark, and what kind of mix are you going for? We are going for a mix that is helpful to spiritual growth in Christ for Orthodox Christians and seekers alike. Our target audience is Western, and contemporary, and we strive to encourage the timeless message of the Gospel in the every day lives of people who are surrounded with secular art and media. For contemporary, the music should be crafted artistically well, produced and recorded well. We make exceptions for exceptional music. The message should not conflict with living an Orthodox Christian life. In the traditional liturgical catalog, we listen for quality of performance, quality of sound recording, and with an ear to what a Western listener might be drawn to, whether they are Orthodox or not. We remember our own first experiences of encountering the worship of the Orthodox Church, and try to help non Orthodox have a blessed experience in this wonderful aspect of the Faith, both spiritually of course, as well as in style and sound. For Orthodox, we find liturgical pieces that bring a depth and reminder of our faith that fit beautifully with our continuing work of the people liturgy of living the Christian life daily at home and at work. Selections are usually not much longer than the contemporary songs, but being liturgy, sometimes they are longer. OB: Who are some of the more prominent performers you feature on The Ark? Ron: In the traditional, our main artists are Eikona made up of wives of priests, and we are playing *Ncense made up of sons of priests. We also have choirs from monasteries, various parishes and St. Vladimir's seminary. In the contemporary, we play Orthodox artists Father Peter Jon Gillquist, Father Justin Matthews, Eric John Shanburn, Small Town Heroes, Jimmy Santis, Chris Hillman (of the Byrds), my music, and much more. Non Orthodox include songs from Bruce Cockburn, David Wilcox, Emmy Lou Harris, Innocence Mission, Pierce Pettis, Sufjan Stevens and more. OB: I notice now that you are advertising for concerts with Ark. Tell us more about that. Many of our artists on The Ark do concerts, speaking, conventions, festivals and the like. Some are part time and some full time like me. It seems natural that as The Ark reaches more people, that some of these artists could be brought in by Churches or businesses for a community outreach concert after Vespers, or as the music for a Church Festival as the entertainment with some bits of message, or a Journey To Orthodoxy moment. There have been some music festivals featuring Orthodox artists, (we have nicknamed them Orthopaloozas ) and more are on the way. These are a great way to invite the community to find a taste of Orthodoxy by hearing from some who have made the journey, and who are also great musicians.

2 Glad Tidings Page 2 From the Desk of the President As this month s column goes to the printer, we are less than a week from Holy Week. No doubt by the time you read this we will have celebrated Pascha and will be continuing to celebrate Christ s resurrection from the dead and His victory over death. And still, it will come as no surprise that the struggle through Great and Holy Lent has again proven to be difficult and rewarding at the same time. I am pleased to say that I attended my first ever weekday evening Compline and Presanctified Liturgy services this Lent. As you may recall, last year in this column I set a goal to attend these services...and then didn t. I found the Presanctified Liturgy to be a particularly beautiful service; one unlike any other that I have ever attended. And as I look back over the years, I said to myself What took you so long?! At the same time, we have lost some close friends and loved ones at St. George this particular Lent and we work to cope with our losses. Of course, I am not much different than any of you. We struggle. Sometimes we succeed. But often we fail to reach the goals to which we aspire and that we know that our faith teaches us. And yet, each of us continues in our faith as we to try to follow the examples set us by the saints, the Theotokos and, of course, Jesus. As I get older, I find that despite these difficulties and the efforts to fast, to engage in increased prayer and worship and to undertake more focused almsgiving, this time of the liturgical year is easily my favorite. Perhaps that is so because I have continued to learn more about our faith, through attending new services or through other readings. Perhaps it is because I have come to be more keenly aware of how precious the life is that God gives to each of us and to take note of the many blessings in my life. Whatever the reason, I have looked back to Palm Sunday 2000, the date on which I was chrismated an Orthodox Christian and think it was actually one of the better decisions I ve made in this life of mine. And so, it is with great joy that I recently learned that two ladies at our church who I count among my friends (Dawn Lampros and Jean Pliakas), are also to be chrismated this Palm Sunday 2009! This continues a wonderful (if not officially recognized) tradition at St. George. In recent years, we have seen a number of people join the ranks of Orthodox Christianity at our church. I hope and pray that this continues. And now, a couple of quick thoughts... A while back, I read an article by an Orthodox author about a tactic to make things work a little better around the church. The idea was simple enough, but I think it has some real possibilities in large part because, as the author put it, the tactic should fill us with the love of Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. It goes something like this. The next time you run into a frustration when dealing with something around the church (I know it s hard to imagine such a thing) or are trying to get something accomplished, after you relay your ideas to someone else, finish off your sentence by saying, What do you think? These four, little words should help us because they open us up to others ideas and encourage us to work together to reach a common goal, rather than to just complain. Certainly, these words provide no magic potion for all that ails us. But, I believe that if we try this in our future conversations, we just might find that things will work a little better. What do you think? Finally, I recently met a friend of mine. While sharing a meal together, he remarked something to the effect of, Thank God we have people at St. George to help keep our Church going. I reflected on his thought later that day. The simple wisdom of his words struck me because I realized that I had never thought of things in quite that manner. Rather than being thankful for what we have, I have rather often found myself worrying that we don t have enough people to do things around the church. And while it may be true that we could always use a little more help, that doesn t change the fact that the help provided by each one of you to keep the doors of St. George open is a blessing from God. And so, I will close this month s column by simply saying, thank you for the things you do and have done for our church. And, thank God for the blessing we know as St. George. Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti! Christ is Risen! Truly, He is Risen! + Eric

6 Glad Tidings Page 6 Interview Continued OB: What can we, as Orthodox laity, do to encourage more Orthodox performers to serve the church actively in their music? That's a good question. First of all, we need to encourage artists in our faith families by supporting them with word of mouth promotion, buying their art, helping them make connections, and affirming them in their gifts. It is very important that artists are affirmed in the concept that their gifts can promote the Faith whether their art is more universal, or more specifically Christian. I have friends that were artists, and thus a bit eccentric, and always felt alienated by their well dressed, traditional church going congregations. These were Protestants, but it can happen in Orthodox Churches as well. One young musician was testing the congregation by being a bit more eccentric than usual, and he went to church in Florida without a shirt. When he was met with love and acceptance, it propelled him into a life of full time Christian service. Another friend of mine, a painter, left the Church due to nonacceptance, and never went back, although he never lost his belief in God. A wonderful thing about Orthodoxy, is that when one walks into liturgy, they come face to face with art, in icons and music, and a group of (hopefully) loving, nonjudgmental, humble people, ready to be instant family. Artists love Orthodoxy! Even hippie artists find themselves among people with long hair and beards, and that's often the priest! Finding a place for singers in the Church is easy and obvious. Iconographers too. Our challenge right now is, how do we encourage the teenager with a rock band, or a folk guitar? How do we encourage the dancers and painters, poets and writers? Living H2O is a band of such young people in California that were surrounded with love and acceptance, and were helped to cut a CD. Father Peter Jon Gillquist too was encouraged and supported by his parents, and later his Church, and he pioneered the way for many to follow. About Ron Moore Ron Moore is a world traveled performer, singer/songwriter, speaker and comedian. His recordings have received airplay on over 100 stations nationally. With a refreshing worldwide view that comes from growing up as a missionary kid in Korea, Ron has traveled with his concerts from Romania to Korea, and from Canada to Equador. With outstanding vocals, guitar and humor, Ron's performances are unique in their appeal to a wide range of audiences, from adults to youth and children. Ron and his wife joined the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1995 after studying the Church for over a year. "We were impressed with the genuine faith of so many Orthodox, the reverent worship, and the unbroken connection to the original Early Christian Church." Ron has a heart for outreach and missions. He led two OCMC mission trips to Romania, and been on one to Korea.

Call the Department at to order now, or visit religioused/feasts FOCUS North America (Fellowship of Orthodox Christians United to Serve) launched A network of Orthodox Christian social action ministries that express Christ s love in North America for those who are hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick or in prison (Matt. 25:35-5) has been launched. In its first 60 days of operation, FOCUS North America has partnered with dozens of Orthodox agencies and parish initiatives and awarded more than $30,000 in grants. FOCUS grew out of the need for an Orthodox Christian effort to address the persistent and pervasive needs of the suffering, impoverished or vulnerable in North America. It is a staggering reality that over 40 million people live below the poverty line and the unemployed rate exceeds 11 million people in North America and is increasing. While there are a variety of Orthodox Christian agencies within all jurisdictions effectively engaged in addressing these needs, a coordinated effort with national support and encouragement could be much more effective. ABC Airs PASCHA: The Resurrection of Christ The video presentation of Pascha: The Resurrection of Christ, a program highlighting Orthodox Christian Pascha, or Easter, was broadcasted on ABC affiliates nationwide in April. The program, produced by Greek Orthodox Telecommunications and sponsored by FAITH: An Endowment for Orthodoxy and Hellenism, highlights Holy and Great Week, deeply moving and ancient services that recount the Gospel narrative leading to the Death and Resurrection of Christ. DVD copies of the program are available for sale ($25, includes shipping). To purchase please contact the Department of Communications at or gotel@goarch.org.
