I have arrived safe and sound in my new home. It took 12 hours of driving to get here with the big U-Haul towing my car and my two cats in the cab of the truck with me yeowling almost constantly (with some exhausted sleeping for up to 10 minutes at a time.) I left at 12 midnight and arrived...

Hello, I have been unemployed and have had no source of income since the first week in October. Things are getting desperate because I have only had a food bank for food and a little money from my parish to survive on. I have not had hardly any job interviews and the few I have did not offer...

Greetings, Without going into a lot of details (though I have more details over at Desert Calling if interested), my safety has become a greater problem for me. As a result of that (and some other stuff), I have to close my business down. I did it effective the end of the month but I have...

We have not covered this topic in a while. In the United States and Canada there are many jurisdictions of Orthodox Churches that all fit under the title "Eastern Orthodox". They are all part of one large Church, unified with Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Antiocian Orthodox, Serbian...

Was St. Paul married? Was he a widower? St. Peter was married but I don't know anything about his wife? What is her story? Any good links to information on these two Saints we honor during this fast by their name coming up?

Someone recently asked me this question in a pm and I thought it would make a good thread. I picked the name "Akathist" because it meant "standing in prayer" (loose translation.) I felt that it would be a good reminder to me whenever I came to CF about prayer. In reading information on this...

Recently there was a brief discussion on the Orthodox Church in Alaska and I thought perhaps we might discuss it more as I have always been interested in Alaska and hope to someday visit there. I have also heard that there are many opportunities for missionary work there through the Orthodox...

Howdy. I wanted to make sure that you knew that the report button is off line just for some coding. It will be back ASAP. Anywhere at CF if you see problems pm one of the staffers in charge of that area. (The list of who moderates an area is now on the bottom of the that areas page). You might...

This gentleman describes himself as a contemporary singer/songwriter/comedian and says that he does concerts, and outreach events, travel the world, and makes CDs telling people about the Orthodox Church. He wants to come to the local OCF. Have you heard him perform? What kind of stuff does...

I really enjoy the Rachel Ray show. I tape with my dvr and watch it without commercials almost daily. Thursday this week they did a show about Gossip. Four women essentially fasted from gossip. They were bracelets that had the word gossip crossed out on it. (A freebe that Rachel gave away...

Greetings TAW. I am writing to you as your sister. I am the manager of TAW so it is my responsibility to try to help members of TAW and to help TAW become a place we all want to be a part of. I know some members are very upset right now. I believe that you are think you are upset with upper...

Someone has recently stated that I was thinking of how to reply to that, and it is off topic to that other thread for me to try to. So, I thought I would post this here and learn some good responses to this. It is my understanding from what I was taught before coming into the Church, that...

I grew up when spankings were the norm. There was a difference between a spanking and abuse. A spanking was done to correct. Abuse was done to hurt out of rage or mental instability. I was abused by my mother a couple times. She spanked me more then a couple times too. I knew the difference...

I plan on getting my house blessing during the last part of the week of Feb 17th as I want to combine it with a little birthday dinner with some church friends. So, it is winter cleaning time! This week I am heavy duty cleaning my kitchen. Then it is one room per week. Anyone else having...
