I feel obliged to ask you to elaborate.

It disgusts me so. :( This was a very prominent factor in my (what I'd like to call) former parish. They were "uncharitable" behind the backs of those whom they deemed worthy of such hate, and were all around "bad." Personally, I'd never imagine going back to that cathedral to talk to...

That's a highly debatable statement. I wouldn't necessarily boil it down to the EO, though, just people in general. The EO priest I've communicated with at the local parish was VERY generous, and everyone on the forums here also seem generous, but the "Christians" at the Cathedral I went to for...

Interesting... The whole Church seems theologically sound and I'm extremely intrigued, but I'm always thrown off when I attend a service (only 3 to date). Perhaps I will just have to take the time.

If there are any Catholic to Orthodox converts here, this question is directed to you. How did you first react to the Orthodox "way" (for lack of a better term)? Everything seems so foreign to me... how did you adapt? Thanks in advance.

Well, what to say... It was long. 4-41/2hrs. A lot of standing. I liked the cathedral, though. The icons were captivating.

I was unaware of it until my cousin informed me of it mere hours before. Missed that part! Can't say I'm surprised, regardless. Is it just me, or was Elizabeth taken aback by the man's disbelief in miracles?

Thank you for clarifying.

Thank you, Maria. Thank you for the advice! That is the service I will be attending.

Attending... unsure of what it is called... tonight at 11:30 P.M. My third ever Orthodosx service. I have decided to continue my journey towards becoming Orthodox. Please, pray for me.

Did anyone else see the special on Catholic miracles this past Friday night (last night) on 20/20? Thoughts?

Happy Day; here's the whole movie: MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it (For anyone foreign to Megavideo, you can only watch 72 minutes at a time. When it reaches 72 minutes, refresh the page. Click the last part you saw and watch the rest. If the "You've watched 72 minutes today" message still appears...

More or less. I hadn't been in good health for three months at the time. There's not one thing in particular that I can remember that caused me to fall away, but I did, somehow. I can relate with the act of will idea. That wasn't too often but, especially at our church, faith was hard to...

Well, I've since fallen away pretty much spiritually, though I don't miss Mass. Some health issues brought to light the fact that I didn't actually believe any of it in the first place. I'm still looking, though. Praying every now and again. From my theological past, I'd found a few things that...

I'm on my way out, it seems. :(

I'm sorry for your loss. I'll keep you and your husband in my prayers.

Beautiful.

I just watched watched a movie about that bishop. I probably would have shed a few tears if it wasn't in such a public setting.

Thank you for what you do for this country.

Thank you, all. Getting a portable 48-hour heart monitor hooked up tomorrow. It seems to be anxiety.
