  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is this re-baptism/self-baptism in the EO?

It would need to be the first and only baptism for a person, with the complete service of the Sacrament of Baptism, performed by a priest of the Orthodox Church, It would then also need to be followed with the sacrament of Chrismation, and the sacrament of sacraments, the Eucharist.

It would be no different from any other baptism in the Church, other than being done in the Jordan River instead of a baptismal font.
