Oh my goodness! I really feel I need to clairfy things. What conclusions people come to! Although I suppose my wording is responsible. (looks sheepish) ANyway, I am NOT some sexaholic, or depressed, depraved person. I really was just asking because the subject has come up several times and I'm never...

good reads

Has anyone read the Chronicals of Narnia? Absolutely wonderful! It's amazing that with so many referances to everything in the Scriptures, the liberals and the atheists haven't banned his books. Especially good and allegorical is The Magician's Nephew (whering the Creation story takes place, as well...

hope I don't offend...

This question is rather um, birds and bees like, but please, I mean no offense. Just some help from some Orthodox priests or helpful brothers. (or sisters) Does the Church deem mastubation a sin?

Leaving for California, please pray

My mother and I are leaving THursdeay, July 1st for San Francisco to go to the anniversary of the glorification of St. John of Shanghai. Please pray for us that our flight be safe, especially as we are returning to Boston July 4th and I'm sure terrorists don't like that much. Thank you.

I am more than relieved that Bill Cosby spoke out. I moved to Boston only in December, and I was shocked. My old school had it's wild kids, sure, but there were only a few (maybe 15 out of 500) and it was never anything really bad, or they'd get expelled. Eerything was clean, and the workload, while...

Did you hear that Prince Charles is also putting up the funds to restore the monastary of Solovki?! He also visits Mt. Athos regularly, and all this gives me great hope. I'm English, you see, so I would be overjoyed if England finally came back to the Faith. Prince Charles' father, Prince Phillip, w...
