    How are you? script

    This kind of response tends to come from people who ascribe to the faux hyper toxic positivity movement, where the only "acceptable" mask to display in public is a smiley upbeat sunny side up version of yourself. I'd respond with "why do you ask" and reiterate with "I'm fine" like a stuck record...

    Hello From New Zealand

    Greetings and welcome to the forum Corey! As a general rule, Antiochian Orthodox Church services will be mostly in English, while Greek Orthodox Churches will be a blend of about 40% Greek 60% English. In Christchurch there are Greek, Antiochian, Russian and Romanian parishes. I'm not familiar...

    Vandalism of Russian Orthodox Church in New Zealand

    In respect of the Russian Orthodox Church which this thread is about, and the situation in Ukraine, I wanted to share something. This Church is taking a special collection (both electronically and at Palm Sunday Divine Liturgy) specifically to aid people who are suffering in Ukraine. If you...

    Monkees singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith dies at 78

    I'm saddened to hear this :'( I used to watch the Monkees' TV show during the mid-80s revival, fell in love with their music and captivated by them as a music band. I was fortunate to see and meet Mike and Micky when they toured Australia and New Zealand a few years ago, a memory I will always...

    Refusing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 is a ’sin’ & anti-vaxxers must spend their life repenting

    gzt, did you visit the link, read the comments and the attached article before commenting? Maybe I should've used the epithet "cull juice" instead. A bit more encompassing.

    Refusing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 is a ’sin’ & anti-vaxxers must spend their life repenting

    If anyone should be repenting over this, it's the ones peddling the clot shots and hiding the truth. A post today on FB from one of our local bought propagandist news media outlets. The type and number of comments (mostly about jab deaths and injuries), the speed at which commenting was...

    Refusing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 is a ’sin’ & anti-vaxxers must spend their life repenting

    Melily, is it possible for you and your husband to have an antibody or T-cell immunity test to SARS-CoV-2? And for those results to be recognised as "good enough" and legal for the purpose of keeping your positions and not having to take the jab?

    Are you going to get the Covid-19 vaccine?

    No. I will resist (even unto death) against taking this. That goes for any and all "vaccines" brought into my country or under testing here). Augustinosia

    Does autism affect your relationship with God?

    This. Exactly this. I believe in and trust the Lord, love him on some level, but find it very hard to connect with Him on an emotional level. When people talk about how passionately they love Him, He's the most important thing in their lives and He's all they need, I can't identify or make...

    Canons and akathists - how to incorporate into your prayer life?

    Thank you ArmyMatt and AMM!:) I was feeling a little intimidated by them, but glad they are simple and straightforward to pray. I'll look for a book of akathists (or a prayer book containing them) and make a start. I hope you have a blessed and glorious Holy Weekend and Pascha.:):crosseo...

    Canons and akathists - how to incorporate into your prayer life?

    Hi there, I've been curious about akathists and canons contained in some Orthodox prayer books, and when/how they are incorporated into your personal prayer rule. I've been Orthodox for a few years (chrismated in an Antiochian parish, now going to a Greek parish) but it's never been explained...

    Corona in your area?

    There have been confirmed coronavirus cases in major cities, but not in my town. Where it's having most direct impact at the moment is local public and club events and gatherings being cancelled, delayed mail from overseas and local outlets running low on (what else?) toilet paper, hand...

    How to "Know Thyself"?

    I suffer from poor recall "in the moment" as well. I find it helps to keep a tiny notebook and pen on hand at all times, so I can jot down sins as they come to mind. Prior to confession, I go through the notebook and write a bullet-point list on a piece of paper as a memory aid.
