:crosseo: Prayers for Darleen. Lord have mercy.

Father Anthony is my goddaughter's priest. He is a wonderful man and his love for Christ is palpable. Axios!

Totally! :crosseo:

I am not so familiar with "covenant" language so I don't think I can respond in a way that is especially helpful but I do see John 6:54 as a kind of "covenant". Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. It's kind of a "get thee...

I agree, this is an awesome post. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I don't know about that...a Greek yiayia can be as formidable force as any Muslim if she finds out her grandson has been flirting with the Lutheran Church. :P Seriously Fotis...I have the perfect book for you to read so you can see Orthodoxy compared to Lutheranism side by side and get a good...

I have only watched this about 5 DOZEN times now! It makes my heart soar!

I heartily second "Greek Orthodox"'s recommendation. The beautiful thing about that book is that it contains translations of the actual 3 sets of communications between the Patriarch Jeremias II and the Tuebingen Lutherans. AND these writings occurred right at the time the Formula of Concord...

While there can be a time of exception in starting a new mission such that the priest takes secular employment, I don't think we should get too comfortable with the idea. I would think the ultimate goal is to get our priests fully supported by the parishes with a decent wage. As God's people...

Just keeping busy with life's basics. Church, Family, Work...eating and sleeping. Not much time left after that. Although I do get a few rounds of Bejeweled in each day for decompression. I have missed you, too! But I read your FB posts. I just never get over this way. Take care and...

Hey Dan, if you are still considering the LV gig you should contact Sophocles...the guy who writes the a..sinner blog. He runs a Greek restaurant at a mall food court in the LV area and would have information. Plus...he is just a great guy all the way around. Very, very tough decisions...

Ya but I can understand the enthusiastic response converts are giving him. It is so exciting to relive those first moments of revelation when the scales fell off our eyes and we were introduced to the Church. We naturally want everyone to have the same thing. The assumption that his kind...

Below is the Trisagion we say for the dead at our parish (although we do use a slightly different translation). Trisagion for the Dead Priest: Blessed is our God always, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages...

Wow, wow, wow, wow...that has to be the best news ever short of one's children also becoming Orthodox. Glory to God! I am so happy for you...and for all of us! (And I agree with GreekGirl...it gives me hope as well.)

I saw Dr. Khoury when she spoke at the Cathedral in Atlanta. Amazing story. I have tried to understand what ties a person to a place that makes it so important to endure the fear and sufferings to stay there but for me, an American whose mother was an immigrant and whose father's parents were...

Praying, Dan. :crosseo: Good that you were so quick to get care for your wife.

I think Augustine is so elevated in the West because of the Reformer's dependence on him for setting up the various Reformation theologies. I wonder if he would be so prominent if there had been no Reformation? To reiterate what has already been said...in the East there is no real compliment...

I have a very vague recollection of your family and the little one running up to the choir. I'll ask Presbytera to help me remember a little better. I always sit with Liz...she is my Godmother (works at the Publix there in Watkinsville?). You would know her if you saw her...everyone knows...

If you went there a year ago there is a good chance you would know me. I have been going there for almost 4 years. Was Chrismated Lazarus Saturday 2006. My real life name is Rose. I do the directory. My husband and sons (both now in their early 20's) are not Orthodox but my youngest used to...

Wiki wasn't wrong. Regarding Alex Rodriguez, his (former?) wife is the granddaughter of a Greek Orthodox priest. An article discussing his presentation at a Leadership 100 gathering says this: I think there are temptations that come with celebrity so great that I can't even imagine or...
