Re: Vegan Diet And the Teachings in Holy Scriptures
think that there enough valuable material for discussion about NUTRITION/ALTERNATIVE HEALING METHODS etc to merit a nice entire thread - maybe Sticky, even, if that's the word. I am NOT well versed in internet forum methods, pardon any mistakes made by me here. I rarely post places. Try to stay off ...

Re: Do the Canons Say Nothing About Laymen & Shaving Beards
These days, with so many people out of work, maybe there will be a = pardon the expression - renaissance of this beard=wearing style amongst serious Orthodox Christians. If there is no demand from an employer to appear a certain way, then maybe those who are thinking to get away from cities and even...

Re: Vegan Diet And the Teachings in Holy Scriptures
Really good information here on this thread. As far as soy I remember drinking a soy milk drink called "Vitasoy" when living briefly in Hong Kong. It was not even available in the U.S. Almost no one in this country had heard of soy milk then. Suddenly a big campagin to promote it as good f...

What GREAT news that Mother Evfrosiniya is being honored so beautifully !
I have to return to read Bishop Akakije's address.
He always speaks eloquently.
THANK YOU for informing us of this marvelous event.
Probably there will be a video available soon?

Re: Russian Orthodox demand that Apple change its logo
I thought that was amusing, too, about the "pear on the ground". Especially since my neighbors have the most unbelievably good crop on their Anjou pear tree this year, so that a pear drops to the ground every minute, it seems ! So the choice of fruit and its location was certainly a propos...

Re: Vegan Diet And the Teachings in Holy Scriptures
I think fish - salmon, tuna, halibut, these sorts - are needed, actually. It is said that - true or not - fish are cold-blooded and hence not the same as eating animals.
