    BC for controlling periods

    I'd have to agree that having a baby is not always the solution. My sister has 2 kids and has always suffered terribley with her cycles. She has taken so many pain killers over the years that the doctor finally decided to remove her uterus. Her uterus was tilted and that was the cause of all...

    Questions about Oriental Orthodox

    Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for responding to my questions and for the websites. When I viewed one of them I did find a link to the differences between OO and Catholicisim. But when I clicked on the URL it took me to an EO site that showed the differences between the EO and CAtholicism so I...

    Questions about Oriental Orthodox

    Dear Friends in Christ, Could you point out which website is best to learn about the OO CHurch, specifically the Coptic Orthodox? I have tried several that you have posted and some of them are mostly in Arabic, a language I do not speak. I did find a good Q & A section on the Southern Region...

    Traditional Prayers

    Dear All, This reminded me of what a holy man of God said, "By getting in the habit of reading prayers written by saints, we become connected with the spirit of holiness that prompted the writing of these prayers. The energy of divine love as it is embedded in this poetry is then transferred...

    Polycarp, Since I originally started these questions I wanted to say thank you for all the information and input. I have gained a better understanding of the Episcopal Church. In Christ, Marie

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Hi Papist, Thanks for the info. I did know that the ECUSA came from the SEC. I told my friend what you wrote and he never heard this either. He is researching but has not found anything to verify this. Could you give a website or cite some references that explains the history? He would...

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Dear Polycarp, You have been so helpful. Thank you so much .... especially for explaining about the Theotokos. I knew that some Protestant groups are very anti-Marian so it is good to know that he probably does not feel that way. I always got that impression that he was kind of...

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Polycarp1, Thanks so much for your response. My friend has mentioned several times that the Catholic mass is almost exactly like the Episcopalian service which makes him think that the churches are almost the same. ANyway it is easy for him to follow Catholic mass and that is comforting...

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Dear All, Thanks for the comments. And Momzilla, that is one thing I kept questioning...the Episcopal understanding of the Eucharist. My friend said he thought it was the same in both churches but I knew it wasn't. I just could not remember the exact word they used to speak about it. What...

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Yes, Michelina, he actually showed me something written by an African bishop that stated very strongly his opposition. And he knows about the break off groups in the Episcopalian Church that are taking a stand against this issue. But his local Church has done nothing. RhetorTheo...thanks for...

    Yes, that is what I meant. They have not taken a stand against the election of Bishop Robinson which is my friend refuses to return there.

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    I am not sure what you mean. I know that the Episcopal Church he belongs to is quite conservative when it comes to the services, the Church building itself, etc. But I do not think that they have done anything about this recent problem. (I am speaking of an individual not a group.) THanks...

    Diff. bet. Episcopalian and Catholic faith

    Dear All, I have an Episcopalian friend who has become quite disgusted with the state of that Church in its recent election of Bishop Robinson. He refuses to return to his church because of this and has been attending a Catholic Church. I want to share some information with him about the...

    Do any of you know any black priests?

    I grew up in a small town in Louisiana in the seventies. Like most other towns around we had 2 separate Catholic Churches and Catholic Schools that were right down the street from each other!! One for blacks and one for whites. (My friends in NYC were shocked to hear this) Years later when I...
