A couple of Orthodox factoids: - The suggested penalty for masturbation is excommunication for a period of 40 days. - According to Canon Law, masturbating two times after baptism is considered an impediment barring one from the priesthood and diaconate (or resulting in a defrocking). This...

It seems overly simplistic to say that icons have to be venerated. I have seen many icons placed so as to prevent veneration (e.g. our Mystic Supper is above the Royal Doors- you would need a ladder to venerate it). From what I understand, icons also serve a pedagogical purpose in expressing...

What I find fascinating is that there was an understanding of "orthodox teaching" that existed outside the New Testament writings in the hearts and minds of the faithful. Often churches might have access to maybe one or two of the writings we now know as the New Testament. Yet through the...

katherine2001, thank you for your blessing. Peace be with you! LittleLamb, we understand your preference for understanding what the New Testament means is by going back to the Greek (of course not a bad idea in and of itself). But why do you parse the Greek of the Gospel according to...

Hi Till, I didn't realize you were over here - I will post my response which I sent to you privately so that others may respond. I believe these are the issues from the other thread you were referring to: In Orthodoxy, the chief virtue is humility, and repentance is at the heart of the...

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit both now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen!

from redding . com Posted by rdlemler on June 24, 2008 at 11:04 p.m. I have been in Platina all day for S.A.R. The monistary is still there and the fire is south of it. It's blowing eastward but could change at anytime. I rode up and down 36 to Wildwood and the fire was not at 36 yet. The...

Lord have mercy on our fathers and brothers! Please if anyone has updates, please post them here.

If the Bishop of Rome is willing to renounce the errors of his forefathers, the Orthodox would be overjoyed to receive him back as "prima inter pares". Lord have mercy on us and save us by your grace.
