Hello all. I know it's been a while since i've posted here, but so much has happened to me lately. I am still a catechumen, but i have not been to an Orthodox church in a very long time. I think many of you knew that my dad is an Episcopal priest. He still is, but he recently moved down to a...

I went on a date about a week ago, and he didn't call me or anything after that. Just now he told me that he doesn't think we can get along but he can't explain the reason. Why does he have to have the final say? Don't I have the right to at least know why he thinks this? I'm so upset right now...

So, as many of you know, I was received as a catechumen this past Palm Sunday. The week before, my priest asked if I was ready for that to happen, and I was. Later that night I called my dad, and he didn't seem to have any apparent problem with it, so the next week got received as a catechumen...

I was received as a catechumen this morning! :pink: I will probably be chrismated this summer at a church close to my home in NJ.

so, as many of you may know, i am a leader for my school's campus ministry group. i am on a small committee of members to write a Statement of Faith. i am the only Orthodox person in the whole group, but i am also the only non-Protestant on this little committee. of course, this means that the...

My friends and i went to Centralia, the underground mine fire town in PA today. I saw what looked like an Orthodox church on the hill, and i just found out that it's Ukrainian Greek Catholic. does anyone know anything else about this church? do they still have services? or is it abandoned?

that was very generous of you :) or both of you, since i got two blessing notifications. i feel so loved!

What does these verses mean from an Orthodox point of view?

i spent the night in the emergency room because one of my friends was raped by one of our other friends. i was such a wreck in church this morning i could barely hold back my tears. i'm also worried now because i think my friend is in an emotionally abusive relationship. her fiance called of the...

so...... i think everyone here knows that i'm still an inquirer, mostly because my parents have some issues with my converting. anyway, my dad is coming up this weekend to visit, and i thought it would be nice if he and i could go to vespers together, and maybe talk to my priest afterwards...

so some folks over at Conservative Bible Project - Conservapedia are apparently re-translating the bible because all the current ones have some sort of liberal bias. this sounds like some sort of joke, and i hope it is. anyway: The Conservative Effort to Re-Write the Bible - Swampland - TIME.com

why is the lineage of Jesus different in Matthew than in Luke?

so i understand the Orthodox position against contraception, but would it be ok to take birth control pills for medical reasons (like a hormone problem) if i am very much not having sex with anyone? or did i just waste my time asking everyone an ayp question?

so... i have a question but i don't see a debate subforum. would i still be allowed to ask it here even if i'm not Catholic?

My parents are becoming more accepting of my wanting to convert, except they still don't like that we'll never be able to take communion together ever again. My mom is convinced that God doesn't like the idea of closed communion. I don't want to say something because I'm afraid that anything I...

There's this guy who really, really likes me, and i like him too, but I'm not sure if I should be in a relationship with him or not. It's mainly because I can't see myself marrying him. Is it wrong to date someone who I don't think I want to marry? Or might things change over time? I don't think...

There was a post a while back asking if there was a Facebook group for TAW. I hope one doesn't exist already because I just made one. Here it is: The Ancient Way | Facebook I already invited a bunch of you, but if i forgot you feel free to add yourself and invite others!

Last night i was on my way home when one of my friends informed me that one of our other friends had tried to kill himself the previous night. He's alive and in the psych ward now, but it made me wonder what would have happened if he actually had succeeded. I read somewhere that the Orthodox...
