Christian Comic-Con: The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth

This past weekend, I chanted Akathist with a science officer from Starfleet. She was mixing her voice with the lovely baritone of Dr. Who. Near the famous time-traveling doctor was a Greek Orthodox priest in a cassock, and to his left, Wonder Woman was caught up in the ancient hymn with her bracelets of submission resting comfortably at her side. After a whiplash-inducing news cycle of racism and political scandal, morning prayer with a Time Lord, an Amazonian princess and a member of Starfleet seemed like the most normal thing I had experienced in a while.
