How could Muslim women be painting an iconostasis?

Excommunication is for the salvation of the Church and for the one who is excommunicated. It is not a punishment. It is a statement by the Church that a person cannot safely receive communion or be part of the community of the Church because their o…

What is the name of the church and what is its website? There are many of us here with a great deal of experience of protestantism and the website will show what sort of protestant congregation it is. I know of no protestant church apart from trad…

I am sorry, but if you no longer attend an Orthodox Church and get your teaching from a Protestant community then you are no longer Orthodox. It does not matter if you disagree with the teaching of the Church, or if I do. The teaching of the Church…

I think it is meaner that anyone could think I was old enough to be in that photo!

I am older than you, but not yet ancient, or Syrian!

You have them now!

I don't want to mess up the board. I have kindly been given lots of rights by Maged but that doesn't mean I should use them. Can Maged not be asked to fix ILSM's stars? I would love him to have those he deserves. Were they taken from him?

Hey! Something has been fixed. My counts are going up.

Since I have met mabsoota I can vouch for that. And also since my post count is not going up I am the most miserable priest on the site!

We are taught to pray in the words of the Agpeya, which is the prayer book of our Orthodox Church. God is not our friend. He is our God, our Lord, our King, our Heavenly Father. We address Him accordingly. With great love and with great respect. Ou…

Which group is it though? Many groups do not describe themselves as Protestant but they all derive from the Protestant movement.

How can your husband's community offer communion when they do not have a priest, do not have an altar, do not celebrate the Liturgy, and do not believe that the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of our Lord? Which denomination are they in pa…

You are more than welcome here, while you must understand that Orthodoxy does consider Protestantism, in all its varieties, to be defective in many respects. This is no judgement on your own worth, your spirituality, or your relationship with God.

We are not to judge the state of the soul of others. But we are to test the spirits, if they are of God. We are to test the teachings to see if they are Orthodox. We are not judging the souls of Protestants. That would not be right. But we most def…

Servant33 the Church has already decided that Catholic mysteries are not valid. This is why all Catholic converts are baptised and chrismated. And as Ioannes says, you are still confused. How is it Christian to deny the sacraments, the priesthood, …

I notice that a recent survey found that: 95% of Muslims in Egypt think that it is good that Islam plays a large part in politics. Have they changed their views since December 2010 when the poll was taken? How does this view play out in a democrat…

Here is what Iran says about the Egyptian protests... Iran has endorsed the Egyptian uprising against President Hosni Mubarak. More than 200 members of the Iranian Parliament signed a statement calling events in Egypt a "holy revolution" inspired b…

Hey, I'm in that photo! Third from the left on the second row!!!

servant33, if you want people to pray for your weakness then you must accept it first yourself, otherwise it is just a formal ending to an email. It is a weakness to pretend to love others so much that you will not identify their sickness when they…

This is only a short extract from St John Chrysostom. But we can note that he excludes almost all men as well as women from the task of the episcopate. It is therefore nothing to do with gender abilities in a mental or skill sense. Indeed he points…

Wow! The Orthodox Church is a self centred cult? Can you tell me which Church you go to that you can have such a view? In which country are you? Which of my words are hateful? It is quite concerning that so many Coptic youth are determined to de…
