MP Saint Amphilochius of Pochaev ??

I was browsing on wikipedia this morning regarding Pochaev monastery and found this mention. Do True Orthodox recognize this hieromonk as a Saint, also ? What is the concensus of True Orthodox Bishops about this purported worker of miracles ? He reposed relatively recently, in 1971, so maybe no deci...

Re: Harry Potter and Orthodoxy

Maria that is unbelievable that everything has become so draconian in the education field. You did ABSOLUTELY the RIGHT THING in resigning as - an ESL teacher, it sounds like ? I had a housemate way back who was also one, but unfortunately, she went that same road... then recovered after some years....

Re: Harry Potter and Orthodoxy

^ I don't listen to ANY Beethoven and almost no classical music, even, as I really like the Orthodox Liturgies or chants on CDs. I listened just a little to Beethoven maybe 34 years ago, but he wasn't my favorite at any time. This is such an interesting discussion here ! Everyone has their opinions,...

Re: Met. Demetrios & Bishop Sergios bless site of new well

I didn't know that about the Big Island's shortage of water and method of collecting it when rain does fall. Has snow ever been experienced there, I wonder ?

Re: Positive steps to stay healthy

Excellent posts, all, Maria. What are "fermented vegetables" - ?? I have never heard of them. But coconut oil ! I have been taking that for a year or two every day morning and night, and I don't see any change but take for granted that it's highly beneficial. Your article excerpt explained...

Re: Humility in monasticism

^ That's an amazing picture ! I really like it. Very realistic, and photographically excellent because the subjects are not posing but clearly absorbed in the lessons being given, thus teaching a lesson to all viewers about humility, as said above ! Icxypion's post is admirable, too. I copied part o...
