Yeah, sure, etc. No need to lecture me on the many woes of the Serbian people.

Behold the sad results of jurisdictional squabbles and misguided nationalism in Macedonia. There are two problems: The Macedonian goverment imposing the "Autocephalous Church of Macedonia" with the arm of the Law, and Serbs holding tight to their notion of a "Great Serbia" encompassing the all...

Moses, their phone number is 724-375-7867. I checked last year, and they didn't have it. I'd call now but my Sprint apparently wants me soul before they restore their fallen communication tower. Let me know what you can find! :thumbsup:

To quote The Simpsons: Bart: Look, I'm a grad student! I'm 30 and I made $600 last year! Marge: Don't make fun of grad students. They just made a terrible life choice. :D

*LOL* ^_^ And Moses, I've been tempted to call oh-so-many times...

Yeah, really. But of course, no one is taking jabs at the spectacularly impressive reputation of this Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation, as this could doubtless cause an unfortunate international incident. And of course, nothing has been quoted, but rather, only a link to his own site...

I mean, even CD's of it chanted in Greek are out of stock/print!

Oh, the pain, the pain! I know! :cry: And I can't even find it in GREEK with Western notation! :help:

If anyone does have this, I'd be very interested in getting a copy, as well. I've tried to find the music everywhere I know to look, but I haven't had any luck! Otherwise, it's just gonna be another year with Small Paraklesis every night of the Fast...

An "apparition of Christ" would be an actual manifestation of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, the Word. A "prototype (or more plainly, type) of Christ" is a historical figure from the Old Testament whose life and events as recorded in Holy Writ are undertood as prefiguring the Life...

Me too! I've devoted a good portion of my academic study of the New Testament to Johannine scholarship, in general, and the exegesis of Revelation, in particular. True enough--Vl. Averky, stickler that he was for the grammatico-historical meaning of the text, doesn't deal too much with this...

Indeed. One must always proceed with caution in matters such as these. This is why St Basil explained the Church's teaching in terms of kerygma and dogma--public proclamation, and teachings for the household. One leads to, and is the foundation of, the other, but we advance step by step. Have...

Dear Maureen, 1) Another chance to get up, after miserably falling down time and again. 2) But there is indeed a break in the Fast for the Bright Feast of the Transfiguration, as we are allowed fish on that day! (Anecdote: when I became Orthodox, I really didn't like fish much, and I...

Not only is this a work of the highest spiritual quality, as one would expect from anything penned by the ever-memorable Archbishop Averky of Jordanville, but it is also very good as a work of reference. It is not an exhaustive commentary, of course--I own critical commentaries on Revelation in...

Julio also busy as heck. :D

The last thread about this was in December, I think, so it may have scrolled over already. The Righteous Melchizedek, King of Salem, is not considered to be an "apparition of the pre-incarnate Christ" by our Tradition. He is commemorated on May 22, and treated as an historical figure in every...

*LOL* On a completely unrelated note, you all must check out the following page: http://www.education-1.net/chancellor.htm Happy reading!

Well, I managed to actually stay away three months. :D Nice to meet you too! I was Dutch Reformed before I came to the Church. And glad you like my signature--St Isaac is one of my favorite Fathers. --Julio

At last, a printable document that will validate my claim to be the Ecumaniacal Patriarch of Michiganople! ;) Back when I was a minister, my buddies and I discovered the Universal Life Church site, which back then offered even easier ordination papers than now (no e-mail required!). I printed...

I think the answer is perhaps a lot more simple. Could it be that Aria, who posted this, simply came across that website on that very day, and she posted a picture that shocked her hoping to gather some input? No, wait, that's too easy, and certainly very unexciting. It must be that she came...
