    What Should We Think About the Rise of Orthodoxy in America?

    I recently heard news of another atheist influencer converting to Orthodoxy; and that got me thinking. As an Orthodox Christian converting to Catholicism, while I believe Orthodox are a part of the Catholic Church, I have to wonder if the rise of Orthodox who, generally, are hostile to the...

    Orthodox mission in Russia

    Hello, my name is Timofey. I live in Russia and am engaged in a mission among my people. I'm just learning English, so I apologize for any mistakes. I am very interested in how the Orthodox Mission is going in the USA, Canada, Europe and other countries. If you are interested in the mission...

    Healing Nearness

    Unknown to most of us American Orthodox, the huge majority of us live way too far from the parish we attend and our Orthodox Christian friends (God bless you all that are close!). Many community studies suggest that 10 minutes travel is ideal, but there's never been a study of why this is, or...

    Open Hymnal: A Free Christian Resource for Hymns

    Hello folks. Have you guys heard of Open Hymnal? It is a Christian hymn book which is free to use, and most of the songs have no copyright. The website looks like something from 2001, but the Open Hymnal 2014 version is just over a decade old. God bless the folks who have worked on this...

    'Sup brothers (and sisters) - Some questions about MJ

    Hello folks. How is it going? I am a Christian (recently converted to Catholicism from nondenominational in 2022), and am wondering what your favorite Bible translations are, and what your thoughts are on traditional services and attire (tefillin, tassels) in MJ compared to reform Messianic...

    Hello guys, my name is Álvaro. I'm a catholic from Spain, and I'm currently working on a project about ecumenism and the apostolic churches.

    I couldn't find an Orthodox Calendar mobile app to my liking, so decided to make one

    I wanted to download an Orthodox calendar but couldn’t find anything with a design to my liking. Most of them look pretty old and unintuitive. My friend and I decided to implement the calendar ourselves. And as we got to a point when we can show something, we decided to share it for those who...

    From Careless to Zealous - My Journey to Truth

    Hi everyone! First time posting here. I'm not sure what to start with about myself, so I guess I'll talk briefly about my story, as someone who was not raised in the church. I first called on the the name of Christ in 2015 (at the age of 26) after a lifetime of being relatively indifferent to...

    On Spiritual Deception (prelest): Excepts of Fr. Seraphim Rose

    The concept of prelest, a key one in Orthodox ascetical teaching, is completely absent in the Protestant-Catholic world which produced the “charismatic” movement; and this fact explains why such an obvious deception can gain such a hold over nominally “Christian” circles, and also why a...

    My dramatical story and the quest for God

    Hello. This testimony is about faith, difficult struggle with sin and dramatical quest for God and the truth. I don't have stories of supernatural wonders that I can offer you. I want to tell you about my path to God. Of course, it is still far from being completed, but, nevertheless, it would...

    Happy Ascension Day

    Once again I find myself recommending a liturgy from All Saints Margaret Street, the excellent Anglo Catholic parish in London that historically rivals St. Magnus the Martyr (I greatly wish St. Magnus would livestream their services so we could do a comparison): Also, here is a good...

    Question from possible convert to Orthodoxy

    I am a possible convert to Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and have noticed that although Paul indicates in 1 Corinthians 11:4 that men should not pray or prophesy with their head covered, there seem to be some (although not all) Eastern Orthodox Christian priests who have their head covered when...

    Mutual Support for Disabled and/or Homebound Orthodox Christians

    Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord, have mercy on us. Due to disability, I am unable to attend Divine Services in person. I also know firsthand how it is to be "different" in church, and to have a priest who does not seem to know how to provide guidance and support in this...

    This document is an examination of the doctrine of communion of saints/intercession of saints through the lens of the Scriptures primarily with some sources from ancient Judaism and Church history. There seems to be a few main questions that need to be researched and answered to see if this...

    Answering Vocab's Malone critique

    ️ May the Christ God bless you! ️ I came across a video of a street apologetic with a protestant background Vocab Malone. He criticizes eastern orthodoxy. But I think his critique is more based on his lack of understanding of our theology and conservatism. Here is what I wrote to him on YouTube...
