Can you read, write, speak or understand Russian/Slavonic?

Oh I agree with you Paradõsis!

Do you realise that some day soon we might be out of communion with both these groups? That is a possibility, but that is why I said this: If World Orthodoxy goes wrong, and one loses communion for standing tall in being right, should this make one not Orthodox? I have a hard time believing this. W...

My free flowing thoughts.

I think there has to be some sort of middle ground here. I personally am not a fan of the EP and agree with those that say he likes to think of himself as an Orthodox Pope as have some of his modern predecessors. ROCOR is in communion with the JP and the Serbian orthodox Church. Some say that doesn'...

My conversion story

At another forum, Serge and I were asked our conversion stories and I posted an abreviated version of my journey from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church to a ROCOR catechumen. I repost it here for those of you that may not go to this other forum. I'd also love to hear conversion stories of those th...

Glory to Him Forever! Slava Na Viki! Dear Alexis, First off I offer you a welcome to this forum. I am glad to hear your opinions on ROCOR. Of course in Alaska, OCA is very Orthodox as I understand it without the modifications that are prevalent in the continuous 48. Plus the community feel of the Or...

I just received my ikon ornaments for the store...

Glory to Jesus Christ! Hello All, I just received my order from this site's store of 10 ceramic ornaments. I have to say that my daughter and I were amazed and shocked at how nice they are! I would honestly expect to see them being sold at a much higher price than a measley $6.00 a pop. I plan on gi...

Not an Orthodox Holiday, regardless the true history.

Glory to Him Forever!

Truly, there are so many stories about the origin of Hallowe'en, that I know not what is fable and what is fact. But even if that priest's story was 100% true, it would be a Catholic holiday based on the Western calendar and placement of All Souls Day. God Bless!
