    The Island (Ostrov)

    Thanks Rusmeister. I passed this information on to my friend but now he is having trouble with his remote altogether. :doh: and still hasn't viewed the movie. He's wondering if its time to get a new DVD.

    The Island (Ostrov)

    I need some help from those with more experience than I. I have loaned this movie to a friend from church. He cannot figure out how to get the subtitles to work. I was lucky, my remote had a "subtitles" button that made it come on for me. Can someone walk me through this (I don't know...

    New American Orthodox Temples

    This is very exciting. Makes me want to go on a road trip! Mary - where is the church in the first link? It looks like it will be beautiful, but there's nothing saying where it is or the name of the church (at least none that I could find)

    yay, get to go to DL this weekend

    I think your catechumante "transfers" :thumbsup: We had someone who started with one priest and moved to a different area and is being Baptized this Sunday at our parish. You should call your old priest and get a recommendation. Did you happen to catch the podcast from Illumined Heart about...

    The Education of Orthodox Children

    I totally agree. There is no cookie cutter solutions here for anyone (wouldn't it be nice if it could be that easy!). I don't know that I would give Christian schools as high marks as you. Maybe its just where we live, but sometimes schools are willing to take kids whose parents are on their...

    The Education of Orthodox Children

    I meant to share this quote from St. Theophan the Recluse: “Of all holy work, the education of children is the Most Holy.”

    The Education of Orthodox Children

    I have 6 kids. We have home schooled 2 of them all the way to college. We began homeschooling because it seemed like a good option compared to our public school experiences. My husband I would always comment about how boring school was when we were young. I wanted something better for my...

    Wonderworking Icon in DC

    I just got a call on my machine from Mat. D. at Holy Apostles. She says that there will also be a Moleban on the 11th in the evening at St. John the Baptist. I don't know if I'll be able to go to any of these, but it sure would be nice to try :clap:

    Festivals and Bazaars galore

    Well, IMHO - the Greeks and Antiochians have the best food. Which Antiochian parish is in DC? I'm curious as I thought there was only one in MD and then a WR one in DC somewhere. A friend of mine goes to the WR and I know they moved into their own place about a year ago. My parish (also in...

    "Orthodoxy": Myths and Realities

    Especially considering how much unity there is within Lutheranism. How many Synods are there nowadays? I'm probably the only one, but I wonder if this jurisdictional "mess" may be a good thing in the long run. Now, yes, the whole Bishop issue and leadership could be better organized. But I...

    More or less heretical

    I have no idea. I rarely come here and when I do I don't venture anywhere else.

    Orthodox Christianity?

    I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here. When you say "church" are you thinking about who is saved and who is not saved? Because when we say "Church" we are talking about the "Pillar and Foundation of Truth". Who is saved (or not) is up to God. Often times Protestants assume...

    So what am I allowed to do?

    I wasn't talking about the subtitles (I'm a foreign flix fan myself). What I mean is not original movies but copies. They usually come out grainy and lower in quality. We got one once when ordering from AmazonMarketplace. The packaging looked just like an original until you watch the movie...

    So what am I allowed to do?

    sorry to be a Thread Jack... I saw someone selling on AmazonMarketplace but worried that they would be copies, rather than original movies. I thought it wasn't available yet in American DVD form? Has that changed? I've had it on my Netflix queue for ages! again, sorry for Threadjacking.

    Evangelicals turn toward . . .

    While we're nit-picking a bit.. this quote was annoying: <<she was also hoping to attend icon school so she could be taught how to draw her own pictures of the Orthodox saints>> It sounds like she's going to get her crayons out and doodle on paper. He could have worded this a bit better...

    These boards are no longer the CF boards??

    Perhaps Erwin is planning on merging with Belief.net? It seems to me (from what little I remember of BN) that there is no longer much difference, except here the forums are better. OTOH, trying to join some of the other Christian forums would be next to impossible because many of them have...
