This is very helpful in understanding more of the "why" I was into the punk scene. I found a tribe a type of family that I could relate to, and It answered some deeper questions I have had for while ☦️💀thanks for this video
Fr. Turbo Qualls has made a connection about being an "other" of various subculture and how he was able to hear the echos of truth that led him to the church. So many gems in this interview that I need to think about. Thank you!
I feel like I am missing some critical concept or something that would make this make sense. As is I'm not sure what he's taking about or why he is talking about it. Or maybe just an intro... It's almost like he's answering a question we didn't get to hear.
He is talking about how group identity is merely an echo of true personhood and the communion of all humanity... but that, for him, it was neccesary to move through multiculturalism and subculture to find the true (and highest) unity with other people that is beyond things like race, class, gender, language, traditions, etc. ...because, subculture is just an echo of the higher unity, but it does initially help in that familiar groups have less obstacles to finding common ground.
@@mikebaker2436 Ah that helps a lot, thanks. Also a critical piece of info is that he's located in the US; statistically a black Orthodox person is by far most likely to live in Ethiopia, where I'm not sure you could call Orthodoxy a subculture as it's the most practiced religion, giving Russia a run for its money :-)
He also seems to be describing his journey to transcend his personal worldly attachments--even good ones. Christ calls everyone out of where they are and who they are to become who they are called to be. That calling out is always very personal, long and difficult... full of nuance and difficult to articulate in words.

I am also an Orthodox Punk Rocker. Works well for (at least) part of me.
This man is so full of wisdom. One of my favourite Orthodox priests out there!
"Don't despise the echo." Yes. Thank you.

Ah, you were not alone!
He also seems to be describing his journey to transcend his personal worldly attachments--even good ones. Christ calls everyone out of where they are and who they are to become who they are called to be. That calling out is always very personal, long and difficult... full of nuance and difficult to articulate in words.
...and obviously Fr Qualls is placing this true fullness of unity in Christ and his church. That part is fairly clear.
