A friend in my seminary class just got back from a trip to Europe. He stopped in Rome for several days and said that he was surprised to see that the priests were facing the altar, rather than the congregation in every single church he went into. Does anyone know if this is a recent thing for...

Syria and Turkey are now rattling sabers at each other and Russia is sending military forces to Syria. Is this what Elder Paisios was talking about? I don't want to be one of those "Rebuild the temple to force the prophesy to come true" protestant folks. It's just strange to me that this is...
