Hi all, Sorry to have suddenly dropped off the face of the earth as it must have seemed, but thanks for the prayers for my getting through the redundancy. They obviously helped because I now have a far better job, paying much better and with much better prospects. Of course, there is a...

Hi all, It looks as though I am probably about to be made redundant and so I would appreciate any prayers that I can find something else soon to allow me to provide for my wife and children. I'm not sure how long we can last without my salary. Thank you James

Hi all, I really want to change my username to something more memorable (so that it doesn't constantly get garbled). I have no idea, as of yet, what to but I'll think of something if and when some kind people can help me gather enough blessings to actually do it. Honestly, though, the sooner I...

Hi all, I decided (after realising that I missed a lot of you and that perhaps I was being a little thin skinned when I left) that I should give TAW another go. I've been lurking for a little while but today I made my first post. For those of you who might have missed it, I just thought I'd...

I'm afraid that due to recent events on this board, I feel that I must leave. I will not go into details, but I no longer feel that I can contribute here as an Orthodox Christian and no longer feel that it is a safe place for fellowshipping with other Orthodox free from outside attack. I shall...

Some of you may remember me asking for prayers for a young boy called Edi who was suffering from leukaemia and did not have a good prognosis. I am sorry to say that I have just learnt that he has passed on. Please could you pray for him and his family at this time? Thank you. James

Please could you pray for a small child at my parish and his family? They came to Britain from Romania for treatment for their son's leukaemia and at first it seemed as though the treatment had been successful. I have just learnt, however, that the disease has come back and the prognosis is very...

Forget women priests and homosexual bishops, just take a look at this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,174-2348095,00.html Lord have mercy. James

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the forum. I've only been able to reply to a thread by clicking reply on the subscribed threads in my control panel and nobody else seems to have replied to any threads at all today, though I can see that people are logging in. Is everyone else having...

Can anyone help me? I've recently been voted onto our parish council with the responsibility for translating announcements, website etc. from Romanian into English> Mostly I haven't been having any trouble, but could someone tell me what the standard beginning to a reading is in English. I've...

For anyone who might be interested, here's a fascinating article about the Orthodox Church in Uganda: http://www.cnewa.org/mag-article-bodypg-us.aspx?articleID=3211 James

In case anyone else here is interested, I thought I'd post the following link: http://www.perlware.co.uk/oe/Orthodox_Christianity_and_the_Old_English_Church.pdf It's a pdf version of a short book by Fr. Andrew Phillips, the ROCOR priest at Felixstowe who runs the Orthodox England website...

Hi all, I've just been over at GT trying to see whether it was worth my while contributing there (so far, I can't say I want to much) when I saw the thread debating the Eucharist (or Eucarist as the very anti-RCC opening poster spelled it). Anyway, it jogged my memory about something I'd been...

Hi all, I just thought I should inform you that my wife gave birth to a healthy girl at 10.19 this morning. She weighed 7 lb 7 oz (or 3.373 kg) and we've decided to name her Sabina Daniela Ioana. Both Gabi and Sabina are doing well (though Gabi's shattered) and they should be back home...

Hi all, I'm about to set off for the hospital and would appreciate your prayers for my wife (Gabriela) and our unborn child. It's a little early but it looks as though he/she might be on the way, though this could be a false alarm. There's also a slight chance that there may be a problem...

Hi, My company's probably going to send me to Alabama on a business trip next week (Huntsville, I think, though I'll have to check). Does anyone here come from round that way? If so I'd appreciate it if you could let me know of any Orthodox churches that I might be able to attend as I may...

Hi all, I'm interested to know who everyone's patron saints are and, if you're a convert, why you chose them (feel free to contribute even if you aren't Orthodox). I'd also be interested if any cradle Orthodox know why their patrons were chosen and also the reasons behind any other family...
