    I've got a big decsion to make...

    Hey, all. My wife and I just found out about an opportunity to teach in Moscow for a year. It's working at an interdenominational school (run by Protestants, but employs and teaches Orthodox and Catholics, too). We've checked their Statement of Faith, and I can't see anything I can't agree...

    Pocket-size Gospels?

    Does anyone know where I could get a copy of the Gospels that I could keep in my pocket? And don't mention the Gideons' NT with Psalms and Proverbs - I already have several of those. I'm looking for one that just has the four Gospels in it. I found one from Alba House on Amazon (look here)...

    Paging Michael [or anyone who can help]

    My church is getting new feast day icons written, and they're absolutely beautiful. I've got a couple of questions, though: -Do you know how we could take decent pictures and list them on Come and See? What's the protocol for that? -The festal row on the iconostas has space for about 16...

    Please, pray...

    I hesitate to start an entirely new thread for this, but this is urgent. You all know that I've had a girlfriend for over several months. However, only one of you knows some of what she went through before we were together. Early in life, she went through a lot of bad stuff which isn't...

    Prayer List of Catechumens and Inquirers

    Aria mentioned in this thread that maybe someone should start a thread so that we know who on TAW is a catechumen or inquirer so we can pray for them during Lent. So, in that spirit, would those of you who are planning on/considering joining the Faith be so kind as to post here telling us as...

    Help with a Paper?

    Hey guys. I posted this request in the Taverna a while back, but it got overlooked. Does anyone know of any very reliable sources about Chalcedon, its causes, and its effects (particularly the Schism)? I'm writing a Church History paper on it, and I need an annotated bibliography by next...

    Namedays?

    Just a quick question, guys. Sergei brought this up a while ago, and it kinda stuck with me as something cool we could do: How many of you guys would support a feature similar to birthdays where we can put in our namedays and our Saint? I've already asked this on OBOB and the Anglican...

    Quick Question

    Morning, everyone. I originally posted this in the Pub, but I was told to put it out here for all to see. Anyway, I've just got a quick question that I intend on asking both you guys and the Anglicans: as one of the few other groups that venerate the Saints and the Theotokos, how many of...

    Quick Question

    Morning, everyone. I would have posted this in your fellowship thread, but I can't seem to find it, so, here goes... I've crossposted this question in both TAW and OBOB, but as some of the few Christians who still venerate the Saints and the Theotokos, I was wondering: How many of you...

    The C.S. Lewis Fan Club!

    Since this thread was starting to get hijacked, I decided to start this one so we can talk about how awesome C.S. Lewis' writings are. Well, I'll start: I love, absolutely LOVE, The Great Divorce , the Narnia books, and Till We Have Faces, along with the Space Trilogy and, well, all of his...

    Okay, who busted the posting system?

    What the heck is going on here? Earlier, the site was down altogether, and now all we can do is see post titles. Why does this site randomly decide to go retarded on us? +IC XC NIKA+ Josh.

    Toll-Houses (no, not the cookies!)

    In another thread, GDE ( I think) mentioned the toll-houses, and Matrona asked what that was. Well, I'm going to try my darnedest to explain it as far as I know in what little time I have. I think the belief in the toll-houses is primarily a Russian phenomenon, one that a person either loves...
