This is ridiculous! Halloween was started by the Roman Catholic Church in the West, because All Saints Day was November 1st, and since Vespers is an evening service and has the distinction of starting the next liturgical day, All Hallows Eve (later shortened to Halloween) naturally occurred on...

Christ is risen! We've all heard several objections to our faith raised on numerous accounts, and one of those is the Levitical Law due to the command to stone homosexuals, stoning of women who aren't virgins on their wedding nights, stoning those with tattoos, a rapist having to marry his...

Every dealing I've had with the Greeks has been very favorable. Just this past weekend, I was at a Greek Orthodox retreat center owned by the Metroplia of Atlanta doing a service project, and every time I have been there I have had cradle Greek Orthodox tell me they love converts (of which I am...

Memory Eternal. One of my friends posted this on Facebook.

Thanks everyone. It means a lot. Just remember him in your prayers. The biggest comfort came last night while praying the Akathist for the departed, and I plan to do them again on the 3rd, 9th, and 40th days of his repose. There were a couple of parts that were hard to get through, but by...

It's been sometime since I have been on here, but I felt like this would be a good place to turn to. Please pray for the repose of my grandfather Dorsey Lee Schumpert. He died Thurs. Jan 26, and I got the call not too long after 5 pm. I'm the only one in my family that is Orthodox, and so...

I'm truly sorry that such tragedy has fallen those in your life. However, this is a forum and not God's house. I would never endorse heavy metal, rock, jazz, classical, country, or any other form of popular music used in the Church for worship. I'm not going to debate your past experiences...

And it contains overt Masonic imagery, and Masonry is not looked upon favorably by Orthodoxy. Let's not forget that the Mozart opera Don Giovanni is about Don Juan who commits rape and murder.

Then you're on the right path.

The Guitarist wrote "Carry On My Wayward Son" and "Dust In The Wind" while inquiring into Christianity. He later became a Christian and left the secular music industry and released a couple of Christian albums. He said more people have told him that his two Kansas songs led them to converting...

Anyone checked out the new Foo Fighters album? IMHO, it is their best album to date.

Same here. I saw them in 2008 on the Snakes and Arrows Tour. Worth every penny.

Then you're off to a good start, and getting a head start I might add. Do you play in any bands?

i like it!

Great! And I encourage you to continue to expose yourself to other styles of music and continue to broaden your horizons. Are you doing anything now to learn music theory and apply it to your instrument? What instrument do you play? One word of caution I will give you about studying music...

I'm reluctant to try it because Google is already scaring me. It has practically become the internet.

hahaha!!!! i just did that.

With all due respect wayseer, I will disagree with you. I have a bachelors and a masters in music, and have studied music for most of my life, both secular and sacred music, and I take pleasure in both. If rebellion is your concern, then that isn't just a property of metal, rock, or hip-hop...

I don't think you're ignorant. I actually agree with your opinion about Christian Music. I used to be all into it, but the late 90's and early 2000's killed it for me. I could not stand then nor can I stand now how everything went strictly towards praise and worship. The main problem with...

agreed
