AMBROSIASTER
Patron Saint of Wannabes
About Me
My name is Garry (Ambrose) Andreano. I’m an Orthodox Christian who likes to write out my thoughts and speculations, because it helps me think. My MBTI is INTJ, and I’m a 5 on the Enneagram. I write about theology, poetry, politics and other things. I think like a philosopher and I play piano by ear. I also enjoy photography and image editing.
I have a wife and a daughter, I live in PA, and I enjoy the great indoors.
I named this blog Ambrosiaster for two reasons:
- Ambrosiaster is a name given to an unknown author of works formerly attributed to Ambrose of Milan. Or as I like to think of it, there is someone trying to pretend that he is Ambrose of Milan. A wannabe, so to speak.
- Ambrosiaster is kind of like blending the words Ambrose and Disaster, which describes me and my writings quite well.
Protestant Background
Philosophize about the world or worlds; about matter; about soul; about natures endowed with reason, good or bad; about resurrection, about judgment, about reward, or the Sufferings of Christ. For in these subjects to hit the mark is not useless, and to miss it is not dangerous.
St. Gregory the Theologian
Examine the writings of the Church Fathers and hear commentary on the content. This podcast is for those who are interested in learning about what the fathers taught, but do not have the time or perseverance to read intimidating walls of text.
