    Concerning Chinese, Japanese and Korean Christianity

    This thread is a reply to certain posts concerning Chinese Christianity in my thread on potentially heterodox parishes and local churches, as this formed the basis of an interesting discussion with @bbbbbbb @MarkRohfrietsch and @FireDragon76 which was off-topic to the previous thread: What I...

    Metropolitan Kallistos, David Bentley Hart, Universalism, and the Church of the East

    What started as a short reply to our pious and reverend Presbyter @ArmyMatt unleashed something of a can of worms in my mind as I realized it crossed the nexus of several areas of theological study I have been focused on for the past decade, resulting in a voluminous post that was only...

    Orthodox Priest on the dangers of Legalism and Selfish Spirituality

    I particularly liked the quote he thought was from St. Isaac the Syrian “God is not just, God is Love, if he were just I would be the first person condemned to Hell.

    The “Generic Orthodox Christian” Faith Icon

    @DarylFawcett recently helped me a great deal by implementing a faith icon that from what I understand was theoretically supposed to exist, but in fact had not been implemented. I see the label of Generic Orthodox Christian as an ideal alternative for members who like to post in Traditional...

    Orthodox Christians As The Victims Of Heretical Sects

    This originated as a reply to a thread, but grew a bit too large, so I made it a blog post. Indeed, it is true that Roman Pagans accused the early Christians of cannibalism, based on a misunderstanding of the Eucharist. Pagan accusations of gross sexual immorality were probably the result of...

    Engagement, Marriage and Divorce (Assyrian Church of the East)

    I've began to read a lot on divorce since a friend (A messianic Jew) who has been married 30 years is now in process of being divorced over being abused by his wife and other issues. He a had received a lot of push back from some of his church folk who in spite of the extreme circumstances...

    The Greatest Genocide of all Time (and unknown to most in the West)

    After reading and sometimes participating in threads about Christianity and warfare, especially in regards to the Crusades and Islam... I just wanted to correct the record especially for those who tend to make moral equivalency arguments between Christianity (at its worst) and Islam...

    Leaven From Heaven?

    Hi there! Years ago, I was a member of a church that had it's apostolic succession from the Church of the East (Nestorian Church). I had learned of a curious idiosyncratic belief from the Assyrian Church known as "the Leaven from Heaven". There was a book written in the middle ages...

    Question Concerning Oriental Orthodoxy and the Assyrian Church of the East

    Hello everyone, To cut a long story short, a movie that I was recommended by someone initially brought great shock to me as it featured God the Father being portrayed by a human.
