I figured I'd talk here cause I have no Orthodox friends irl and I feel isolated. I've been frustrated that I haven't been going to church. I have a hard time reaching out for help in certain situations because of my anxiety. My adhd makes it really hard for me to form any sort of habit, and...

I've been thinking about this as I want to have kids one day and raise them Orthodox. Proper, sex-positive sex ed is incredibly important to me. So is my faith. What would an Orthodox Christian, sex-positive sexual education for kids and teens look like? Something along the lines of sexuality is...

Does anyone have any good ressources that they know of on the intersection of these two things? Or better yet on psychology and Orthodox views of marriage? I'm doing my own googling as well, I just wanted to know if people had any resources they had read/listened to and would recommend.

I haven't been around here much for the past few years and I noticed on the front page the theology and edification sections have (orthodox Christian only) next to the title... I was wondering in what sense do they mean that? I know it's not us because it's not a capital O in orthodox but if not...

I was discussing with a friend about spiritual "experiences" or visions, and I remember reading something several years ago about how only the saints have true spiritual experiences and if we seem to have one we need to be wary, or something like that, and have been trying to find it, and any...

I was looking for an android app with the daily readings and all those I have come across list different ones than the ones listed in my Orthodox Study Bible, can anyone recommend one that has the same readings? For example today's readings in my bible are for Galatians and Mark, but those in...

*sigh* plugins missing on my computer at work to make it myself with quickmeme and I need admin access to install them... There needs to be a meme saying "brace yourselves, lent is coming". This one has been a doozy. More than usual. EVERYTHING going wrong in my life right now, like BIG things...

I came across this article just now, about a scientist that says time does not exist. This clicked with something in my memory, I remembered reading somewhere something about God and the saints existing outside of time, God being everywhere present always at once. Something about when the...

It's the beard-o-meter. They spelled orthodox wrong though lol.

I seem to remember an Orthodox website specifically for enquirers and catechumens, but can't find it any more. Does someone have a link to it?

A friend of mine asked me yesterday as to the main differences between Orthodoxy and other religions. I haven't done much reading about it since I became Orthodox 3 years ago so I pulled what major differences I could off the top of my head but still struggled to explain them. One in particular...

A friend of my mother is in the process of getting a legal divorce and wants to know how to proceed with having the marriage annuled after having gotten the divorce. She was married in the Orthodox church. Does anyone know of any websites or online resources that I can refer her to? She has...

She converted to Orthodoxy 6 years ago after having changed churches several times. Last week she called me to say she was switching parish (from the OCA to ROCOR, those are the only two in her town) because of a disagreement with her priest, mainly that she's taking an online protestant course...

for my mother, she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is still treatable, and is not the type that spreads. She will be starting her first round of chemo sometime in March. Her name is Susanne. :crosseo:

Personally I never wear skirts unless going to church. But I found this funny :P http://www.dressaday.com/2008/09/ten-reasons-skirts-are-better-than.html

I bought this icon for a friend of mine for his birthday, and he asked me what was written on the back, I'd told him I'd ask here since I think there are a few russian speaking/reading people here.

I laughed when I saw that ad for Angelus Press at the top of TAW: "Upset with the changes in the church? Give tradition a look." :P

but I figured I'd start here. I wanted to know if anyone is or has been in the same situation that I'm in regarding my boyfriend, to possibly offer some advice. He's a non-practicing christian, and we've been dating for about a month and a half now, but have been friends for 4 years before that...

I don't know what to check in my profile under Life View, I figure it's either Conservative or Fundamentalist but I don't know the difference between the two. Which one would line up of the Orthodox thinking?
