Okay, I am still trying to get a better handle on Orthodox ecclesiology, and I found this article, and I want to get feedback from others to see if I understand it: http://www.schmemann.org/byhim/ecclesiological-notes.html This does seem to be saying that the Mysteries are how we know...

I can't verify the story, of course, but here's something that came in an email last week. Subject: The Smell of God A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery...

I can't find it in any major news sources, but ladies, we might not want to move to Germany... http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,12111658%255E401,00.html

(Ahem! music for grand entrance, please!) j/k :wave: Hi. I'm Dianne from North Carolina, and I've finally qualified to post here in Golden Eagles. I've been wondering whether this is anything like the first day of kindergarten, and, yes, it is. I remember I couldn't wait to get there...

Dad (age 91) had endovascular surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurism. The day after he was released, he developed nausea and vomiting and we took him to our local hospital. He developed pneumonia, and has gotten past that, but a CT scan today revealed an abdominal hematoma, a pocket of...

(These are dogwood trees, in my back yard and in my mom's front yard.)

How would you go about demonstrating that just because individuals and local churches can make mistakes or fall away from the truth, that doesn't mean the whole Church is not able to remain faithful, and that its conciliar decisions are always true...

http://www.e-sword.net/index.html This has the Douay-Rheims, KJV with complete OT, Greek Septuagint (in Greek) and a variety of Greek NT versions. Very user-friendly. Thought some of you might like to know. :)

To continue the discussion: open to all, btw :) Reformationist: (from the 5th Commandment thread) Let me see if I can explain. You have claimed that God extends His grace liberally to all people for the purpose of bringing them to saving faith. His intent in doing so, for every person...

There's too much theology in this to leave it in the Christian jokes section: I never thought about it quite this way before. Gold represents what, in the world, people tend to deem most precious, but, in the New Jerusalem, the City of God, it is only fit for pavement. Think about that in...

When I spoke with my friend and sister (in the Faith) Carol today, she mentioned two people in her family who need prayer support. The first is her son, Nicholas, age 20, who was badly injured in an auto accident last year and is still recovering. Early next week, he will be having surgery on...

Please (to satisfy my curiosity :) ) post what you believe it means to have eternal life, and your church or denominational affiliation (if your icon does not indicate it). Thanks!

We're having so many heavy discussions that something lighter is definitely in order. If you are, say, 40-something or older - or even 30-something - how have things changed since you were a kid? What do you remember that would seem strange to the TAW youngsters? Being almost 50, I'll...

Nobody is allowed to bash anyone else on this thread, first of all! :) At times I have read comments about and toward non-Orthodox Christians (but not often here on TAW) that were fairly disturbing. First, I hope you all know that I think everyone should be Orthodox, but the reality is that...

I was wondering about something. In Orthodox theology, what is the significance, if any, of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70AD? I remember coming across a few comments about this among the early Church Fathers. I'd appreciate any information you can give me.

The OCA website has pictures of this year's Pascha in Washington D.C. http://www.oca.org/pages/events/2004/04.April/0409WashingtonDC-Pascha/0411WashingtonDC-Pascha/index.html

I suppose it's not exactly fitting for Bright Week, but it was honestly the first chance I got (after figuring out that it wasn't going to be a family event after all). This film has stirred up controversy, even between Christians, and I don't want to start another "should/shouldn't see"...

May this bless you all as much as it has blessed me! http://www.metropolit-anthony.orc.ru/eng/eng_04.htm
