Canterbury concedes Anglican Communion has become "corrupted" | Anglican Ink Thoughts or comments? In Christ, Fr. John

The Ecumenical Patriarchate has glorified a new saint: St. Nikephoros the Leper. Here is his story: MYSTAGOGY: Saint Nikephoros the Leper Is Canonized By the Ecumenical Patriarchate In Christ, Fr. John

I'm obviously not Catholic, but rather an Orthodox priest. My wife and I, however, live across the street from a very large, old, Catholic parish. The parish still has a decently large community of people, who are very active and committed to the parish. The parish is debt free and...

Hey everyone, Could you please all remember me in your God-pleasing prayers? Since Saturday, I've been feeling very sick, with a persistent high fever and a very painful sore throat. Yesterday, my wife took me to an urgent care clinic. Along the way, I was in so much pain that when I'd...

I can't believe there are no threads about this currently... So, the bishops all finally met together, and it seems to have been very positive.

Last night, on Tuesday evening, at a vigil service for Theophany, a catechumen was baptized. Would she care to come forward and identify herself so we can all congratulate her? :-) In Christ, Sbn John

Hey all! I don't mean for this thread to turn into a debate thread at all, but these next two weeks are going to be very critical for the Church here in America in many different ways. Since this all could have a major impact on those of us in America and affect the way that our mission goes...

http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&art=14708&size= What do you all think? I know that they've been trying this for a really long time, but these seems to be genuine progress towards calling the Council. Do you think this will come together? Will it be a good thing? I'm cautiously very...

Hey guys! I was hoping you could help me out... I have a friend living in Toronto who is inquiring into Orthodoxy, and she asked me if I knew of or could help her find a nice Orthodox parish in Toronto, where she just moved. There's a parish near her, but the services are all in Serbian, and...

Glory to Jesus Christ! Dear family, friends, fathers, and all, We're about at the midway point of our mission trip here to the Ukrainian orphanage, and so I thought it would be a good time to send everyone a brief update about how the work is going. So far, for the most part, everything...

Beloved in Christ, Tomorrow morning, I'm leaving for Ukraine with a group of Orthodox young adults, to spend about three weeks volunteering at an orphanage for severely disabled children in Central Ukraine. Since I was blessed with the opportunity to have lived there for three months this past...

Dear Anglicans, While looking at the GAFCON stuff on the web, I noticed that the Anglican bishops there said that they subscribed to "the Four Ecumenical Councils." Which four are those? In Christ, John

Dear all, With a heavy heart, and yet with joy in the coming resurrection, I ask your prayers for the soul of the newly-departed handmaiden of God, Khouria Joanne Abdalah, the wife of my spiritual father, Fr. John. Kh Joanne fell asleep in the Lord on Tuesday morning after a long battle with...

Hey all! Here's a really neat article about our parish that appeared in the city newspaper. The reporter seemed really intrigued and said that we'd be seeing more of him, and not in an official capacity :-) http://blog.mlive.com/grpress/2008/04/antiochian_orthodox_church_pre.html Also...

I was a little shocked by this paper, written by a LCMS pastor and university professor. What do you all make of it? Does anyone here agree with it? If not (and I hope not!) do you think there will be disciplinary action...

Hey guys.... I know I've talked some about mission work here in the past, and about my experiences this past fall. Well, now I'm looking at taking a team of people over in a few months, and I could really use prayers and support. And, so you know this is for real and not some random internet...

On this day, the first of April, the holy Church commemorates St. Mary of Egypt, who happens to be the patron saint of Rowan/Britney/Mary, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to wish her a happy name day :-D

Hey all! My SIL is getting close to labor for their first child, my first niece. Labor should be starting anytime in the next few days, probably within 24-48 hours. Please pray for my sister-in-law, Amy, my brother Chip, and their unborn daughter, that everything goes safely with the...
