  • 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.

My quest in finding Spanish Orthodox texts and catechetical material has *finally* taken a positive turn! I found a lot of service texts and some introductory texts as well; including 3/4 of Fr Tom Hopko's series translated into Spanish.

All of which I'll share here and can be downloaded PDF:

From ROCOR's South American Diocese: Textos Litúrgicos
This one is mostly services including matins, vespers, liturgies, hours, and molebens. It also includes the services for the sacraments like the wedding, ordination up to priest, baptism, chrismation, and for all the servers out there: hierarchical liturgy!

From Antioch's Diocese of Chile: https://www.iglesiaortodoxa.cl/biblioteca
This one under "Fe" has Fr Thomas Hopko's series (minus the history one) translated into Spanish, some lives of the saints (including St John of Shanghai), history, and other stuff.

Naturally, I shared this discovery with my Salvadoran fiancee. She expressed an interest in Orthodoxy about a month and a half ago, so I sent her the Hopko set and one of the history PDFs. Hopefully that'll help lead her to the Church.


I don't know if any of you will have need for these, but why not bookmark the links just in case, eh? ;)

ADDED:
OCA's Diocese of the South website has some pamphlets and sheet music in Spanish here:
