So, today, I had just gotten home and was about to walk into my apartment when two people approached me. I was being polite and said hello when they greeted me. They then asked if I had read the Bible. I thought this might be interesting so I proceeded and told them that I had. They asked if I...

Today started off sadly. My grandfather's cancer has spread to his brain and the rest of his body very quickly. The doctors have said that nothing can be done and he is now at home with family. It's just a matter of time. I won't get a chance to see him again, though my dad is trying to get to...

Kali Anesti from Korea! A Blessed Pascha to all! Christ is Risen!

So, this is a disappointing Pascha, in a way. I'm in Korea and military here have a 1 a.m. curfew. There's no way that Liturgy will be over before 1 a.m., so I can't go. This is really depressing. The curfew had been 3 a.m., but then they rolled it back to 1 a.m. I've been trying to find if...

Just found out today that my aunt became a catechumen. All three of her daughters were baptized Orthodox decades ago, but she stayed Catholic. Now, she's becoming Orthodox. This is so cool!

I am trying to find an icon of St. Anastasia of Serbia but am having some trouble. My cousin's daughter is going to be baptized in about a month and I'm the koumbaro. If I can't find one, then I would like to look into getting one painted for her, if possible. I appreciate any help.

The priest I spoke about in a thread last week has fallen asleep this morning. It has been a very difficult week, watching him slowly go, but, as painful as this is, we are glad he is no longer in pain and that Christ has called His good and faithful servant. May Fr. George's memory be eternal!

I've just received very sad news. A priest I know, who is like a grandfather to me (I've known him for about 18 years, before he was a priest, even) is dying. Apparently, the cancer he had, which they were hoping to treat, spread more rapidly than anyone anticipated. They say it could be in the...

I thought you all might find this interesting. This is an article from "The State," the newspaper in Columbia, SC on the iconography in the new Greek Church in Columbia. Iconography to adorn sanctuary - Faith and Values - TheState.com -Picture taken from above website. Also, the Church's...

I know this is strange question to ask. Does anyone know if any of the monasteries on Athos ever permit monks to visit their families? Some background, if you'll permit me. For many years, I have been trying to discern God's will for my life. I feel a strong calling to the monastic life...

I just found this site. This is so awesome (at least to me). It appears to be run by a priest in Lattakia, Syria. Right now, they're broadcasting something with a bishop, but I have no idea who. Almanarah fr Silouan oner home page / Almanarah Tv ÊáÝÒíæä ÇáãäÇÑÉ ÇáÃÑËæÐßÓí EDIT: Right after I...

I've noticed something at my parish. Several people holding out their hands during the Our Father. When I went home for Pascha, I went to my parents' parish and noticed a couple people doing it there. Now, the people there are converts, so I'm wondering if this is a holdover that some people...

I thought this was interesting and others may find use in it. I also really like the name of the site. Good Guys Wear Black | Discerning Your Vocation In The Orthodox Church — For Orthodox Christian Men Discerning A Vocation

I have posted here before asking for prayers as I go through my divorce. I mentioned that my wife was not Orthodox and did not exactly have a friendly view towards Orthodoxy. Well, last night she wanted to watch the 60 Minutes story on Mt. Athos, since she knew I had spent three months...

I should be back in South Korea (at Osan Air Base) around the beginning of December. I was wondering if anyone here was living around Seoul or going to the cathedral in Seoul.

I would like to ask for prayers. I'm currently going through a divorce. Even though I know it's what's best, especially for my spiritual health, it's still not easy. I also ask for prayers that it goes smoothly and that my soon-to-be ex-wife doesn't try to cause any problems. Right now, the...

Hello all! :wave: While it is a long story, I left the Orthodox Church for a few years. I never stopped believing the Church was the Church, but because of stupid actions I made resulting in a self-excommunication (in short -- I married a non-Orthodox woman but only at a courthouse...there's...
