Hello, everyone. I'm very excited to post here again with a follow up to the post I made some time ago where I mentioned that my friend and I were working together on developing Orthodox Calendar mobile app. Well, we released it on Android and I wanted to share some updates here in case some of...

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. That's why I'm doing a survey to understand better oriental orthodoxy and your faith, that is not well known in my country. Everything I have learned about...

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...

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...

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...

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...

There have been some unpleasant threads lately for those of us in the Traditional Theology community, and it occurred to me it might be quite nice to invite my friends who participate in this forum, who include but are not limited to @MarkRohfrietsch @public hermit @concretecamper @prodromos...

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...

OK, so, this is my first post on this forum, so thank you all for any advice you might have and thank you for existing. I have already found some interesting information here and plan to do a lot of reading. What is on my mind right now is this: I am nearly 4 years into a long distance...

I am a possible Convert to Orthodoxy, and my spouse left me less than 2 years ago. We were only married for less than 2 years prior to her leaving, and there are no children involved. She is from another continent, and it is a situation where I am permitted to divorce her based on 1 Cor 7 as...

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...

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...

️ 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...

I recently found a number of article snippets from Elder Symeon Kragiopoulos, Abbot of Holy Trinity Monastery in Panorama. He is very straight forward, and I found them simple and practical, so I've pasted a great many in my delight. This one was an "oof", as someone who...

I found the story of Archbishop Andrew uplifting - there are three parts here, but I especially enjoyed these two areas: The Restoration of the Orthodox Way of Life

I read a funny line from Fr Seraphim Rose the other day in a letter to a new convert who said they were having trouble standing, "it seems the last thing to become Orthodox is ones legs." This video was a nice overall video on bows, and when one should do them, when one is unable to do so.

One of the beautiful evening prayers confuses me - I stumble over the bolded portions, since I am interpreting it as "I am now saved" which I think I am reading it incorrectly, since mercy and forgiveness is still asked for. Does anyone have an interpretation? I haven't necessarily found...

Reading according to your way of life by the Holy Fathers: On Reading the Holy Fathers - by St. Ignatius Brianchaninov So for those of us living in the world, if I'm trying to apply St Ignatius' advice, what Church Fathers, Saints and books do people like for those living in the world? I have...
