    Alaska Tourism commercial

    There is a new Alaska Tourism ad on television-I've seen it on ABC-which includes a quick glimpse of an Orthodox Church. Watch for an Orthodox priest opening his arms to the camera, white church & blue domes behind him. I thought it was pretty neat.

    Dealing with Anger

    My brother recently talked to me about how angry he is "all the time". Lack of control/frustrated goals is the root cause we actually discussed (I teased that he was mad he wasn't God). I would like to be able to seriously encourage him from a more Orthodox mindset. He is not a believer...

    The Nicene Creed, for Young People by Anthony Coniaris

    Hi everyone! Has any one seen or used this book? It comes with a study guide, published by Light & Life. I saw it on the St. Tikhon's online bookstore. I was wondering what age group it is aimed at and what the general format is? A friend who homeschools her children is looking for a...

    Rick Warren’s Purpose for Rwanda

    I posted this in the Christian New section but I don't know if anyone goes there much. I'm rather surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet in CF. The TIME article quotes a comment about such a cooperation between a mega-church and a nation is unprecedented. I find it alarming...what does...

    I saw someone refer to O Gladsome Light in another forum (emergent groups are using it now in their services, tho the version is slightly different than what we sing at Vespers). It was commented that because it is so old, no one really knows how to sing O Gladsome Light so it is chanted...

    Church Libraries

    Is there an unwritten rule that Orthodox churches don't have church libraries, just bookstores? I've always loved my old church's library and I miss it...especially when there are so many Orthodox books I would like to read but won't be able to afford! Is it unheard of for an Orthodox church...

    Today my 10 yr. old asks me "Mom, do we go to a Christian athletic or something church?" Huh?! Turns out he and 2 friends were talking about their religions. He couldn't remember "Orthodox". :) yes...LOL. Jokes are welcome... But it brought up some serious questions for me. 1...
