    How should a muslim handle some disparaging remarks?

    Apparently by stabbing a nun! But then - I am sure that these guys are not real muslims - they must be "fanatic elements". A whole crowd of them.

    Source of incense etc

    In another thread someone mentioned that they preferred to use products from a monastery in order to support them. I like that idea but it also made me think of something....

    question re: saints

    In the catechism book that I read it says that it is proper to ask saints to pray to God on our behalf or the behalf of someone else. I have pretty much come to terms with this. My question is this: What power do the saints have other than offering prayers? Can they take physical bodies? Can...

    Good works

    How do you locate volunteer opportunities? Does your church help organize them? Is there someplace other than IOCC that is mainly an orthodox source? In other words - I want to do something but I don't know how to go about doing it.

    When does someone become a catechumen?

    At what point does a person consider themselves a catechumen? I read in a post that there was a prayer so I assume there is a formal process? I am clueless....

    It is better out in the cold.

    One of my first realizations upon beginning the conversion process is that of being out in the cold and dark looking in on a family on Christmas morning. You can see that the family is safe and warm, you can imagine them opening their gifts. You can almost smell the hot chocolate, fresh baked...

    First Liturgy

    The wife and I went to our first liturgy today. After the catechism class we found a spot near the back of the nave and tried to look inconspicuous. My first impression was one of reverence. There was an atmosphere of reverence that was almost tangible. Instead of 1000 conversations all going...

    My first trip into an Orthodox Church.

A little over a year ago I went on a fishing trip to Alaska with my Dad and 2 other guys. While we were there we stopped at this small church in Ninilchik. The priest was...

    Saint search

    Is there a listing of the Orthodox Saints that is searchable / browseable by characteristic / personality trait? (Did that question make sense?) To rephrase: I would like to see a list of personality types and click on say "messy" or "meek" or "Long hair" and have a list of Saints come up that...

    Beer. mmmm beer.

    I know that several RC monasteries brew some pretty amazing beers. I have heard that during fasts they were allowed only "liquid bread". I can imagine it being pretty easy to get knackered really fast drinking trappist ales and tripple bock on an empty stomach. I also can imagine it killing...

    Help me understand the place of saints

    It is my understanding that there is exactly one mediator between God and Man. So then if there is one mediator between God and Man what is the position of the saints? Is asking someone to pray for you the same as asking someone to mediate? to intercede? The word in question here is...
