  • 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.

Morning,
I saw the question while browsing so I don't mean to impose since this the Presbyterian section.

FYI, Eastern Orthodox have a Trisagion or Memorial service at the end of the liturgy on the 40th day after death as well as 6 months, and various yearly anniversaries. This service is also used the night before the burial service. The full service takes about 15 minutes. The 40th day version does not contain the first portion of the service such as the Lord's prayer, since it takes place within the Sunday service. As TampaSteve suggested, come on over to the EO section or Traditional Theology if you have more questions.

Trisagion Service - Liturgical Texts of the Orthodox Church - Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
