I have read Orthodox critiques of western form of piety such as the sacred heart and the like which is similar in some fashion to Eucharist worship. We worship Jesus in his entirety not just part of Jesus which worshiping a part of Jesus can have a Nestorian like view where the sacred heart and...

This video meme is great for those worried about how their family will respond to them becoming Orthodox.

I finished watching "The Secret of Kells" movie yesterday and thought that it was great. I thought I would post the link for anyone interested.

In an interview with Met. Hilarion the BBC stated/asked "Judging from what we saw in the transcript of the talk of Patriarchs Bartholomew and Kirill, two discourses have clashed – a conditionally liberal one on the part of Constantinople and a conditionally conservative one on the part of the...

The Orthodox Survival Course is bootleged online by the way but it is only lecture notes but presents great info

Both books are great, but "The Soul After Death," does deal a lot with the occult and modern new age type spirituality especially "spiritual experiences." I wish they would get around to publishing the "Orthodox Survival Course," in a book form by someone skilled enough to turn Fr. Seraphim...

No, "The Soul After Death," goes a lot into discernment and is a great compliment to "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future."

From what you have written, this is a Roman Catholic view on baptismal theology after Vatican II. Fr. Peter Heers does a good job of exposing these beliefs and what all it entails when accepted. Some of these views have crept into Orthodoxy. Traditionally Orthodox have received people by...

I would recommend "The Soul after Death," by Seraphim Rose. it has a great amount of information on discernment from an Orthodox perspective that relates to what you talking about. It has great info for anyone coming out of a charismatic and or new age environment.

From an Orthodox perspective, the distortion that happened in the west that would eventually lead to Roman Catholicism really had its start during the Carolingian Empire. I would say that the protestants of the reformation except for maybe the top leaders would have had very little knowledge of...

I have not attended a Western Rite liturgy, but I am kind of a liturgical maximalist. I love attending the liturgy of St. James on his feast day, and I really would like to attend a Western Rite liturgy in the future. Some of the liturgies that are used are pre-schism ancient liturgies of the...

I'm glad you included the Midwest in that litany Gurney, I was afraid that you were going to slide into heresy ;)

Yes, I actually did a lecture on the life of St. Cuthbert at my parish and I was astonished to read about the demonic like hatred the reformers like Oliver Cromwell had for saints' relics and all things catholic. The desecration of the shrine of St. Cuthbert by the reformers is a very...

It is common knowledge in Orthodox circles that Ed Sullivan introduced beatles to the western world by using firewood contaminated by wood boring beatles to build camp fires at national parks across the globe ;)

I think most Orthodox historians put it at the Norman Conquest in 1066. The Normands replaced English bishops with Latin bishops, I was even surprised to hear about the subjugation of the English church to Rome in a BBC documentary. Orthodox England has some old PDFs for ancient British...

I think that work is already completed. Amazon.com: Customer reviews: The Departure of the Soul According to the Teaching of the Orthodox Church it also seems that the reviews on amazon have been trolled from people who have not read the book.
