Militants of TAW starting January 2006 (Introduction Thread)

[All4Christ]

Welcome!

 

[Melista]

Hi, I was on here for about a year as Melily. I had given up social media for Lent and got hacked during that time so I lost my log in and today I rejoined. I’m still a catechumen with my husband and we are now at an OCA parish. We started with a Greek parish that was closer to home but my husband decided he wanted to go back to the first parish we visited in late 2020. It’s been great! We have met many welcoming people and now have sponsors. Just wanted to say hello.

Great to see you again!

Thank you, I’m glad to be back.

In the spirit of people coming back, I have returned. Not that my return should be noteworthy. I was here for a few years then just kind of stopped coming around the time my eldest was born. But, I felt like coming back and seeing what was going on so here I am.

Hello, everybody!

A few old-timers remember! Hi there from Russia!

Here we will have an updated roster of Eastern Orthodox, Cataechumens and sincerely inquiers to the Holy Orthodox Church.

Post here just once, and please do not comment on other posts. This is just a roster.

If you have an update, for example, you were an Inquirer and you have become a Catechumen, please just edit your original post rather than make duplicates. However, please send a PM to a staff member if you change your status so that we can update the totals.

There is another thread for saying "hello" and greeting others, it is The Greetings Thread:

We also have a social spot called the Taverna. I can't give you the link because we have new Tavernas starting all the time. Generally you will find this on the first page, just scroll down.

Guests and new TAW members need to read the "Required reading" HERE (current TAW members should check that thread for updates periodically.)

For those already recorded in the other Militants of TAW Thread, please post here again.
(That thread became off topic and is so long, and besides, some people have left and some have never posted there.)

Here is the Info that would be good to post:

1. Real first name or Nameday Name (this like everything is optional)
2. What jurisdiction your parish is in. (OCA, Greek, etc.)
3. Status: Cradle Orthodox, Convert, Catecumen, Serious Inquirer (by this we mean that you have started attending an Orthoodox Church and meeting with the Priest or someone they designate to teach you about the faith)
4. Any other interesting pits of information you want to share such as: marital status, children, pets, hobby's, church activies such as singing in the choir, etc.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the person who posted it has not been here since 2009, so it can’t be updated.

Hi everyone!

I've recently written a book on abortion, reproductive technologies, and adoption (Amazon.com).

For my next book, I would like to compile a book of "Journey to Orthodoxy" stories from converts who have interesting conversion stories or simply just heartfelt conversion stories they'd like to share. Please let me know if you'd like to be included (email: kbreck57@gmail.com), and thanks so much!

Long time no see friends, I thought it appropriate to revisit this thread first after more than a decade of absence.

God bless you all,

I hadn't been here for a while. I can see that. Where is the Tavern ?

Buried deep….it has been awhile since we last posted in the Tavern.

It’d be great to resurrect that thread!
