    Looking for Affordable Icons for Church

    Second hand is fine. I also said that we prefer canvas as art can be printed onto canvas relatively cheaply. The reason we do not want laminated is because of the high gloss and low pixel quality

    Looking for Affordable Icons for Church

    Hi, I am looking for affordable icons to be used in church. We do not have a lot of money so I am hoping to find some that are under $150.00 a piece. They need to be of fairly large size since they will be placed in the sanctuary. We are hoping for wood or canvas, nothing laminated. We are also...

    Advice About A Friend

    I need life advise. I hope that this is the appropriate place to post relationship advise. I am friends with a girl whom I've known for a few years. She is a wonderful Christian, playful and full of joy. One thing I don't understand is that she likes to scold the men in our circle. I find it...

    A Dark World

    I've experienced depression and melancholy since I was a teen. It seems to be a part of my personality. What I struggle with the most is not having others like me. I am surrounded by exuberant family and friends. Honestly, they're probably just normal. I wouldn't describe myself as goth or...

    Abuse and Christ

    Let me be more specific, suppose a husband beats his wife or sexually abused his children. Are they to endure it?

    Abuse and Christ

    As Christians we are called to imitate Christ in his sufferings and death even to the point of being reviled and murdered for his sake. However, we also are called protect ourselves and our children from abuse. How do these two things co-exist? Should a person remain in a relationship, embracing...

    The Petrine office & Grace

    Hi all, I am in the process of better understanding the Petrine office within the Roman Catholic Church. I am stuck on the question of sacramentalism. If bishop is the highest sacramental office in the Church, what distinguishes the pope from his brother bishops? If it is the right of...

    Papal jurisdiction in England

    I was just reading about William's conquest which had the blessing of the Pope at the time. Why did the Pope bless the conquest if the peoples of England were already a part of the Roman Catholic Church?

    Papal jurisdiction in England

    Well, the common trope is that King Henry XVIII broke with Rome. So I was wondering if the Church of England was always a part of Roman Catholicism.

    Random Thoughts On Religious Appropriation

    I don't know how to get pass the fact that historic Christianity is fundamentally both Jewish and Greek at it's core. Plato is everywhere. Aristotle makes a nice appearance too. The Roman Catholic magisterium seems evocative of a Jewish Sanhedrin and I don't see much difference between...

    Prayers for the dead

    In trying to understand the Confessional position regarding invocation, I have seen two interpretations of the BoC. The first is similar to what you have said, namely that invocation of saints should not be required of Christians since Scripture does not teach but that it is not otherwise...

    Prayers for the dead

    I wonder how we are to understand these passages in light of 1) The Resurrection where they will receive a reward, since it was in light of the Resurrection that Judas Maccabees prayed for his fallen comrades. and 2) Those under the earth (in Sheol) who seem to be aware. Examples would be saints...

    Eucharistic Miracles

    Hi Mike, I am of two minds when it comes to EM. My first reaction is, "Wow! That's so cool." Like you indicated, "Dear, Skeptical World, see Christ really did die for our sins and is present with us now. Believe!" My second reaction is the one I indicated previously, "Why are these samples in...
