This doctrine is called “Apostolic Succession” and is part and parcel of Roman and eastern Orthodox communions. It is also deeply problematic. Among the challenges – multiple competing popes in the 1300’s, the schism between Rome and the eastern communions, and worst of all, the plain truth that no one can actually trace a direct line of authority all the way back to the apostles. This perspective is clean, understandable, and patently false.

Recipe By : Taste Show # TS4747
Marinating chicken thighs: In a mixing bowl rub thighs with salt, lemon
juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, marjoram and pepper. Add the olive pieces
and garlic, mix well. Cover and marinate for 6 hours.
Spinach stuffing: In a large pan melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
Add spinach and 3/4 cup dill, cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until spinach is
wilted. Remove from heat. When cool enough to handle squeeze excess
moisture from spinach mixture and toss with feta cheese, salt and pepper.
Reserve.
Avgolemono sauce:
In a small saucepan saute leeks in 2 tablespoons butter. Add chicken stock
and simmer for 30 minutes. In a separate saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of
butter. Add flour and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat
and strain stock into the roux all at once, whisking until thickened.
Reserve. Stuff and saute chicken thighs: Remove olives from the marinade.
Chop into small pieces and mix with spinach mixture. Remove chicken thighs
from marinade, discard garlic pieces. Smooth out skin of each thigh and
create a pocket. Divide spinach mixture and stuff each thigh between skin
and meat. Dust with flour on both sides. Heat two skillets over medium-high
heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in each.
When foam subsides, add 3 chicken thighs to each skillet. Saute for 5
minutes per side or until golden brown.
Yogurt garnish:
In a bowl mix together yogurt and 1/2 tablespoon chopped dill.
To finish: Beat eggs, 1/4 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup dill into
sauce. Taste for seasoning. Warm gently over low heat; do not boil, it will
curdle. Drain chicken thighs on paper towels. Place each on dinner plate
and pour warmed sauce around. Top with 1 tablespoon of yogurt garnish and a
small sprig of dill.
Yield: 6 servings

A Message from our Provider:

“God: He holds the future…”

Pragmatism is another non-Christian philosophy that has found its way into the church. Since we can never know what is true or good, according to pragmatist philosophers, we should simply do “what works,” conceived of in material terms. This is an important strain of American philosophy, from the modernist John Dewey with his atheism and socialism to the postmodernist Richard Rorty with his relativism and leftist politics. Few Christians would agree with these philosophers if they listened to them, but simplified pragmatism can be heard constantly in church committee meetings, church-growth seminars, and books for pastors. “What works” — to increase church attendance, attract non-Christians, bring in more money, or achieve another goal — can trump all theological, historical, and biblical considerations.
