    Baptismal gowns?

    http://users.sisqtel.net/cse/order/vestments.html Go under Orthodox Vestments, then Other Items. If it is a child's robe, it should only be $50, so its not too expensive.

    Orthodox Christianity Booklet

    Oh sorry I see my other post was deleted, not sure how stating a simple point is debating. Also, you could have kept my part about how True Orthodox do not condemn Mohammed or anyone else to hell but rather only condemn his teachings and condemn him as a heretic only.

    Because we all know that gives the EP and the State Church of Greece the right to persecute Old Calendarists :).

    The Orthodox Name

    For one, most of the RC hospitals, schools, etc, were in the old days run by monks and nuns. RC monasticism is very different from Orthodox Monasticism. There are many RC Orders (Dominicans, Jesuits, Benedictines, etc) whose primary mission is to teach, whereas Orthodox Monasticism has never...

    Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom

    The Kontakia were written by St. Romanos the Melodist, whose feastday was last Saturday. Kontakia are essentially hymns, but I'm sure someone else can better define these terms.

    Holy Esphigmenou Monastery

    Holy Esphigmenou Monastery

    Neither have you answered mine. However, its very simple: those who pray with heretics ARE heretics. There's nothing more to be said, its plain and clear. When I say pray, I don't mean to the point of concelebration even, I mean things like the EP going to a Papal Mass. Again, this doesn't...
