Zen Meets the Orthodox

A Lesson in possibility:  An Orthodox priest and myself, a Zen Buddhist priest,  have been discussing , in various cafes, the everyday aspects of our respective faith traditions,  Zen Buddhism and the Orthodox Church,  for some time. We thought people may benefit from our conversations so we are making a documentary featuring our dicussions.  The conversations are open and free-wheeling.  We discuss how we came to our particular faith tradition, how we make it real in our everyday lives, and what hopes we may have for those who follow in our respective paths.

We believe people will benefit from the experience of such an open, caring, and compassionate discussion between two priests from vastly different backgrounds. We believe it is possible, even desirable, for members of different  faith traditions to talk with one another.  This film models that possibility.  


As priests we support our work in the community through donations. No one on our team is wealthy and none of us can produce this valuable film without your help.

We will use the funds raised soley to pay for videography, editing and distribution.  If it is within your means to help us, your help will be greatly appreciated!
