I swear I can't understand this program. Every October I have to explain to at least one of my kids why drinking a sip of wine after Communion is not doing drugs. The idiocy of equivocating a sip of wine with shooting heroin boggles the mind.

Does anyone have the link to a picture or video of that animated icon with the neon lights that blesses you? It was posted a few years ago. I can't seem to find it.

I'm 5 days post miscarriage (10 wks) and the cramping is still really bad. This was my 4th pregnancy and second miscarriage and I don't remember it hurting this bad before. How long is this suppose to last?

I'm looking for a small mounted print of a particular icon. It is an icon of the guardian angel and he is cradling the soul in his arm like a baby. I've seen several versions on-line but no place yet who sells them. Anyone know of one?

I'm stuck in bed again and this time it is looking grim. I'm only 10 weeks so there isn't much I can do except wait and see what happens. The hardest thing is I don't want to tell the kids. They were so excited about this baby. :cry:

My mother was confirmed in the ECUSA back in January. She has moved to a new area and the local parish (also ECUSA) there is completely different than the old parish. She says there is very little difference between it and the non-denom Churches that she used to attend. They have informed her...

Why didn't you guys tell me that I am a vampire? ^_^ Vampires: Are they real? I had to google the book and he says that the Orthodox are given special herbal injections to turn them into vampires, after which they live for centuries, survive only on Sacramental wine, Communion Hosts (?)...

How many people do you usually include in the list for departed? 20? 30? Usually I don't sit down and make a list. So I am a bit lost. I'm a genealogy nut... so someone needs to tell me what is appropriate. I have WAY too many names.

Is there any out there? The first time I heard an english Liturgy I immediately thought of the old-timey lined-out singing in the backwoods churches. Everyone in my parish thinks I am nuts, but that is ok. ^_^ I'm not looking to have banjos and fiddles in the Liturgy, but merely...

I'm having issues with a person who used to go to my parish. It is someone that I have to have semi-regular contact with. I wasn't even part of the original situation, but it is really affecting me. I was so close to those who WERE involved and I am caught in the middle. I haven't taken...

I'm a convert so I don't have any traditions on what "has to" be in there. Last year I cooked a roast, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rum balls, 2 BK big kids meals, a bottle of wine, and a bottle of vodka. I spent most of the day Holy Saturday cooking. I don't want to do that this year.

specifically for Mormons and JWs. The door knockers here are relentless. Simple polite refusal isn't working. I'd rather start handing THEM "literature" when they come.

I am so frustrated. I have 2 kids (8 and nearly 12). I am trying to teach them the basics of the Faith, but we only converted in 2009. I am still learning myself. They aren't learning anything. Most of the young and preteen kids in the Church do not participate in anything except...

Anyone know a place to buy a good one? I'd prefer english words if possible. I don't want to spend a ton of money and it can even be printed instead of stitched if it still looks nice. I've been trying to make one for 2 years. It is time for me to give up and buy one. I can stitch... I...

most of your Facebook friend suggestions are wearing cassocks in their profile pictures. :doh: Sad, but true thing I discovered about myself this morning. ^_^

I know this sounds crazy (and I will discuss this with my priest, even though he will probably think that I am nuts too) There is a strong cultural belief in my family that there is an inborn ability to dream the future. It isn't controllable... it just sort of happens. It comes from the...

I have a Christmas card that I wanted to give a friend. It has an icon on the front and she will ask me what is written on the scroll. It is the icon of the Theotokos Megalochare (Great Grace?) The writing on the scroll is pretty tiny. This is the largest photo I could find on-line (the card...

My parents are being confirmed in the Episcopal Church next month. My mother wants to know if there is a very plainly written book that explains your Theology. They were only able to make it to 2 of the confirmation classes. She also wants to know if there is something that explains how to...
