Br. CJS Hayward a novice at St. Demetrios Orthodox Monastery, and an apologist and author with an extensive author site, and a bookshelf with a few hand-picked best books, which he invites you to patronize.

And he has had his income confiscated by the arbitrariness of a government bureaucracy, and after things seemed to be provisionally resolved, he has mysteriously not been paid even the reduced pay for this month.

Beyond that, who is Br. Christos Jonathan Seth Hayward (thou / thee / thy / thine)? A man, made in the image of God and summoned to ascend to the heights of the likeness of God. A great sinner, and in fact, the chief of sinners. One who is, moment by moment, in each ascetical decision choosing to become one notch more a creature of Heaven, or one notch more a creature of , until his life is spent and his eternal choice between Heaven and is eternally sealed.

Man, mediator, midpoint, microcosm, measure: as man he is the recapitulation of the entire spiritual and visible creation, having physical life in common with plants and animals, and noetic life in common with rank upon rank of angel host, and forever in the shadow of that moment when Heaven kissed earth and God and the Son of God became Man and the Son of Man that men and the sons of men might become gods and the sons of God.
