We begin the interview by exploring Mark’s work as a translator and the artfulness of translation by grounding our discussion in one of his books, Apocalypse: The Book of Revelation, originally written in Greek. Within minutes, Mark states that religion fulfills one or two purposes: to control or to transform – our conversation explores the latter. We discuss the psychedelic nature of the Book of Revelation, the nuances of translation, living texts, Mark’s unpublished translation of the entire new testament, modern Christianity, defining “truth” (as in, “the way, the truth, and the life”) …” – a/letheia: non/forgetting, the Answer to Job found in The Book of Revelation, the conflict in dualism, reconciling dualism, critique of the institutional church, Dionysus and Christ, love, ritual, and more. BIO:Born in Richmond, VA (1954) and raised outside Washington DC, Arey converted to Orthodox Christianity from the Episcopal Church when he was 22 years old. He graduated in 1975 from the University of Maryland (cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) with a BA in Latin Language and Literature. In 1976, he matriculated at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline MA. He graduated in 1979 receiving a M.Div. (with distinction) and was subsequently ordained both deacon and presbyter in October 1979. In the intervening 34 years, Arey served six parishes (last as interim Dean of the Archdiocesan Cathedral in New York City), as well as parishes in Baltimore, MD, New Haven, CT, Nashville, TN (twice), Frederick, MD and New York City. In 2006 he was awarded the rank of Economos and in 2007 that of Protopresbyter. In 2013, he asked to return to the ranks of the laity in order to marry, and did so, marrying Lyn Cameron Hayes on December 9, 2013. Arey has one grown daughter, Zoë Arey, who lives in New York City with her three daughters, Lillian, Beatrice, and Evelyn.IN 2014, Arey was invited to be Executive Director of The Hellenic Initiative, Inc. (https://www.thehellenicinitiative.org), a global venture philanthropy organization that does economic development in Greece. In 2019, Arey took a six-month sabbatical to travel on pilgrimage to India, after which he began working as a private consultant in both the fields of venture philanthropy and communications.https://www.thehellenicinitiative.orgNANINE EWING INTERVIEWhttps://soundcloud.com/thesacredspeaks/17-the-body-the-unconscious-life-death-a-conversation-with-nanine-ewingCLASS:http://junghouston.org/program-offering-detail/?id=dfb2b6b6-4eb0-11eb-b993-02dbb43a0b10Website for The Sacred Speaks: http://www.thesacredspeaks.comWATCH:YouTube for The Sacred Speakshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7RgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/@thesacredspeaksTwitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/Brought to you by: https://www.thecenterforhas.comWATCHGet Centeredhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdbeVcDXWXezYMkHJg-2duwTheme music provided by:http://www.modernnationsmusic.com

68: Mark Arey – The Book of Revelation & Answer to Job

Mark Arey spent more than thirty years as an ordained Greek Orthodox priest, until he resigned from ministry in 2013 and married the love of his life. Most of his life has been spent “engaging with the poetic depths of things divine.” This has led him on a journey filled with liturgical service to others, rich narratives, and an intense seeking after “meaning that quickens.” During his years of ministry, Mark also worked as a hospital chaplain, a psychotherapist in a state prison, and an HIV patient counsellor. His pursuit of wisdom through the study of philosophy, biblical Greek, the art of translation and story-telling has led to four books, the most recent of which is The Gospel of Love: A Meta-Translation. We spoke about his transition from the ministry, the many lessons he learned in the course of his spiritual journey and his current work. He lives in Taos, New Mexico.
