    Please help me, my Orthodox brothers...

    I agree with the others to read the stories and writings of the early saints. I recommend St. Polycarp, who was one of the saints that was of interest to me in my first studies of Orthodoxy. After reading the early saints and martyrs of the Orthodox Church, this will easily show what...

    Church blueprints anyone?
