Thank You

Dearest Susan,

There are some earlier sermons (1999-2002) to be read at
http://www.angelfire.com/wi/theosis/articles.html#sermons

You are not the only who has made this request:

"Dear Fr.John Brian,
"Your sermons are very enlightening to our faith, new vision of our church life. My suggestion is please collect all your sermons regarding spiritual awakening thoughts make book. It is a good assets of our coming generation and for this generation also.I like your thoughts and sermons

"If you have book please let me know. I need some books."
Fr. Yohannan Panicker
St. Thomas Orthodox Church
Los angeles.

Unfortunately, these sermons are completely extemporaneous, that is there are no notes or written form - so the only way for them to be written would be if someone were to transcribe them.

If someone wanted to take on that project, I would be very glad to work with them.

There may be transcriptions of earlier sermons and lectures, but these are not the digital sermons available on-line.

Please pray for me and for this ministry and for our mission chapels, here and everywhere.

Peace be with you in Christ,

Fr John Brian +
