    American Students Lack Knowledge on the Topic of American Slavery

    What Kids Are Really Learning About Slavery I can already see it: the irony of the people that believe topics like American slavery should be ignored and "left in the past," while simultaneously complaining about the "erasure" of history when it comes to removing Confederate monuments.

    Your family's religious history

    I realize not everyone is into genealogy, but I assume most people know at least a couple generations back. One of the things I like to do when I'm researching is try to record the religious affiliation in each generation and see when/why it changed. Then I learn about that time and place to...

    Today, June 22 (Baounah 15): the return of the relics of St. Mark the Apostle to the Egyptian Church

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the one God. Today is a great day in modern Coptic Orthodox history, and since it directly involves also the Roman Catholic Church, I figured I should share it with you guys here on OBOB. From the synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox...

    The boundaries of the OO world in the 10th century re: Severus Al Ashmunein

    Hi everybody, I woke up early this morning so I've been doing some reading from Severus Al Ashmunein's The Lamp of the Intellect (what little of it I can actually read; due to a binding error, most of the pages of Ebeid and Young's 1975 English translation are fused together). It brought up...

    Gulag Vorkuta (2016) - Christians killed in USSR Gulag

    Gulag Vorkuta (2016) I watched this, has amazing scenes of Christians praying in the snow with a hill of crosses in the snow behind them. Made me cry. This story has never been told. Over fifty million Christians were killed in the Marxist U.S.S.R., because they were Christians. "...50 million...
