Today, we continue this conversation with Father David. It’s an incredible story— so relevant to today’s world crisis in Ukraine. What motivates Father David to become Eastern Orthodox, and now a priest? What are the gifts we, in the west , can receive by our brothers and sisters in the East? A stunning, moving, and hopeful conversation where our soul meets the world!
Fr. David Morrison is parish priest at St Anthony Orthodox Church in Bozeman, MT. He received his Master of Divinity degree at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary and a B.A. in History from Trinity University in San Antonio. He spent his first year of marriage teaching high school in Guatemala, is a professional musician, and likes good Tex-Mex food. He and his wife have 3 children, and are grateful to live and hike in beautiful Montana.
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent earth: I flow.
To the rushing water, speak: I am.
We depend on your support to carry on the ministry of Potter's Inn. Each of our ministry staff also raise their own financial support for salaries to serve with our team.
