Schmemann On Sex

One of my favorite Schmemann quotes…

Students’ confessions.  Always sex.  I am beginning to think that this sin is useful; otherwise they would consider themselves saintly and plunge into guruism.  As it is, they are half convinced of it.  So this sting in the flesh is useful.  It cuts us down to size!

from The Journals of Father Alexander Schmemann, 1973-1983
