Orthodoxy in America

Welcome to St. Anthony of the Desert. Please visit us! We welcome visitors in a spirit of Christian love. Vespers are at 5:00 PM Saturdays, the Divine Liturgy is at 9:00 AM Sundays. Both are followed with fellowship and food. More information is on our monthly calendar under "Service Schedule." See the sidebar to the left.

We worship in Kendrick Chapel at St Andrew Episcopal Church, located at 518 N Alameda Blvd, at the NE corner of Hadley and Alameda in downtown Las Cruces, New Mexico. Our phones are 575-524-2296 or -1071.

Please browse Fr Rochelle's many writings in the section "About Orthodoxy." Fr Gabriel also serves the broader church as: secretary, Orthodox Theological Society of America; professor of scripture, St Sophia Seminary; alternate member, Metropolitan Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of America; member, North American Academy for Liturgy; and on a team developing curriculum for adults through the Shalom Hartman Institute, Jerusalem. Mostly he serves us as priest and pastor, preacher, teacher, and spiritual guide.

To hear about mission building, consult Fr Gabriel's series "MUSINGS ON MISSION ," at ANCIENT FAITH RADIO. That series ended in October 2010 but it remains available at AFR archives.

His series "MUSINGS FROM THE HIGH DESERT" explores various topics, including 14 chapters on Celtic spirituality, 12 chapters on Judaism and Christianity, and 9 chapters on Christianity and Philosophy. A new series, BOOKS THAT TOUCH YOUR HEART AND MIND, began on May 8th as Fr Gabriel spoke about his life with books and a great old book on Apostolic Preaching in the early church. Stay tuned, and please explore the many other great podcasts on AFR.

Fr Gabriel's LAS CRUCES SUN-NEWS columns are published the first and third Fridays of each month. NEW for 17 May 2013 is I LOST MY CELL PHONE, THEN THIS HAPPENED, a meditation on silence. Check under ABOUT ORTHODOXY.

Fr Gabriel also writes a column jointly published by the Las Cruces BULLETIN and the Glenwood Gazette, a monthly paper that covers western New Mexico and eastern Arizona. The article for May, TAKING THE PATHWAY TO THE PUBLIC SQUARE, about four ways to address polarization in our soceity, is under a sub-heading for BULLETIN columns.
