“The more I study the history of the Orthodox Church in this country, the more I am convinced that our work here is God's work; that God himself is helping us; that when it seems as though everything we do is ready to fail, …on the contrary, it not only does not die, but grows in new strength and brilliance.” [said just before leaving the United States for Russia]

In the interests of increasing the levels of healthy satire, I offer the following farce of titles you are not likely to see anytime soon. Unfortunately, there has been a recent rash of sensitivity going around, so I leave the identity of the authors to your skills of induction.

  1. Sensitive Mules: An ethnological study of the Pott/Kettel feud over color.
  2. Hiding Your Freudian Slips: How to be a behaviorist while convincing your friends that you hate psychology.
  3. Tongue-twisters: An argument for using multiple, inconsistent translations in every parish.
  4. Jesus Was Schizo! Applying priniciples of modern psychotherapy to classical Christology.
  5. La-la-la! I Can’t Hear You! My spiritual father trumps the synod of bishops, especially when it makes my sex life easier.
  6. Christo-technics: How one Orthodox priest uses technology in the service of God.
  7. Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You: The tragic effects of telephone phobia on one family.
  8. Infliction: How the use of older-age toys by younger children might possibly lead to tragedy in a small church, an extensive and detailed explanation of how intricate rules have been developed for the safety of your child.
  9. The Day They Call Me That, I Quit! An examination of the terms servant, minister, deacon, missionary and apostle in the history of the Church.
  10. I Don’t Know: Silent ignorance as a loud witness for Orthodox Christianity.

Of course, this does not bring up the levels of satire to the levels required by the Saints and Prophets Administration, but it makes a small dent .
