SYNOPSIS:The story of the woman at the well, the Samaritan woman,
Photini, must be understood in a historical, theological, mystical and practical
context. She said "the well is deep", and this story can be discussed from many
perspectives, many of which are, alas, unintelligible to most because of their
low level of theological knowledge and interest. The most important one for us is
what we must do do get the living water, the Holy Spirit. Saint Photini shows us
several things that we MUST be if we are to be saved - theologically literate,
having thirst for righteousness, humility, and zeal. Her conversation with the
Lord and subsequent actions show all these things.

SYNOPSIS:The story of the woman at the well, St Photini
(Svetlana) has an enormous amount of deep and important theology, but the most
important part is the personality of the Samaritan woman must be understood an
emulated to understand any of it. She was very humble; when the Lord exposed her
sin, she stayede with Him to hear more. When she understood Him, she left her
waterpot. We esplore these two actions. She was an extremist. We cannot be saved
unless we are too.

Thomas is just like us in at least one way; it must be in two ways if we are to be
saved.
The Apostle Thomas is a perfect example of how we are, deep inside. We have
doubts, problems, unresolved issues. We must follow his example to resolve all
these problems. We also talk about the closing of the doors in the altar on
Bright Saturday night, and what it means. It is VERY related to the story of
Thomas, which must become our story if we are to be saved.
