For the record, my stance is the following: I'm against abortion I'm against euthanasia (although I have sympathy for this cause) I'm against capital punishment except in extreme cases Instead of talking about all of those, this thread is about abortion in general. I have, for a very long time...

Perhaps I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but I'm trying to read more into the lives of the saints to choose my patron saint. History about myself: my Catholic confirmation saint was not actually a saint, but instead Blessed Hildegard von Bingen. At any rate, I'm looking for an Orthodox saint...

This is difficult for me to state, but I was psychologically abused for about three years by my Muslim ex (he has a Cluster B personality disorder). I'm finding solace again in EO, but I'd like some suggestions for empowering psalms to help me through the times when I relive the abuse (I have...

Anyone else find byzantine chant to be incredibly soothing? I'm listening to some in Arabic right now, and it's divine to listen to!

I have a confession to make, while I have perfect pitch I come across as tone deaf because I cannot vocalize notes. I feel ashamed while attempting to sing during Divine Liturgy, so I hum along. I cannot hit the notes via vocalization, but I can certainly hum the right notes! Is this frowned...

Hey y'all, There are four different Parishes within easy driving distance of where I currently live: OCA, ROCOR, Antiochian and Greek. I've started at the OCA parish, but I'm not sure if I should look into the other ones or not as well. The OCA and Antiochian do English-only services; the ROCOR...

I chose the name Shieldmaiden4Christ because I have a lot of Nordic ancestry, and because we are God's soldiers. I'm currently Catholic, but I am on my journey to Eastern Orthodoxy.
