Hello: Any of you other Antiochians out there know what's going on with our auxiliary bishops? Were they not full canonical bishops? So, from what I understand the Synod in Damascus stripped all of the bishops under Metropolitan Philip of their normal bishop status. I wonder why the holy synod...

Hello: I have a friend at my parish who has been taking communion after he had identified as an "agnostic" on Face-book. I thought he worked through his issues, because he was receiving communion, but I just saw this morning that he has changed his religious preference to "atheist." I would...

Here it goes: What are my obligations to my church when I'm in my work center and people are talking about Christianity, yet they have no idea what they're talking about: historically, theologically, and etc? My intuition tells me to sit there and eat my lunch in the break room, but then I...

Hello: If a Roman Catholic parish wanted to convert en masse like the Evangelical Orthodox Church of America, would the clergy need to be chrismated and put on orders by an Orthodox bishop? I'm curious, because if reunification happens, would we simply pick up where we left off?

Ok, I found the most terrifying thing. It's a real exorcism performed by a Russian Orthodox priest. His assistant priest recorded it and posted it online. Exorcism in Russia Recording Go and listen to this. This is some freaky stuff.:prayer:

Gang: Why is the Stigmata mainly a Catholic phenomenon? There've been quite a few instances of it in the West, but there seems to be none of it going around in Orthodoxy. What miracles are indigenous to Orthodoxy? I've read a bit about supernatural light emanating from holy people and the...

Gang: My best friend is a Baptist, and his views concerning the eucharist are that it's merely symbolic and isn't a sacrament but an ordinate. We got into a theological discussion last night at a friends house, and I didn't seem to get anywhere with him. I quoted Ignatius of Antioch's letter to...

I have some questions: It seems that there are more than one or two Latins that like to hang out in here. Do a lot of Orthodox folks lurk around the Latin forums? From what I've seen at first glance, I don't think we do. Furthermore, I wonder if it's because the Latins are more ecumenical...
