we don't permit abortion. but as minasam444 said, please share your distress with someone.it is normal to be distressed about the bad things you see around you, but it is not normal to be distressed to the point of suicide. this means you have an i…

may God give you strength.follow all the Holy Week readings, get up early to pray and make many metanoias (low bows).remember we have only 7 days left for bowing to the ground before the Holy 50 days, so make the most of them!memorise prayers and ps…

congratulations on your entry to the orthodox Christian faith!i have been an orthodox Christian for 11 years now, and every year i learn something new (took 2-3 years to get the hang of fasting, for example).you don't need to limit it to only 1 or 2…

it is a very long story. basically there were different times when people became Christians in india. some ended up following rome, and others were orthodox. then some of them switched from one group to another and then back, and we ended up with lo…

Conclusion It is normal for humans to have romantic desires as God created us with these desires However, all desires need to be controlled, this is why we fast God gives us the power to control ourselves Intimate pictures of others – harder to con…

a few thoughts (send personal message for the full 3 pages): Some people spend a lot time identifying themselves with their favourite hero or style of clothing, but their heroes will die and the fashions will change. Our identity in God (from a …

thanks to God.on a different note, God is in control whether we live or die, and He knows what is best.:)

many of our churches give a generous portion of blessed bread / orban (around 100g, 3oz), enough to cycle 3 or 4 miles (5 or 6 km)! not everyone can eat it though, and i'm trying to be inclusive!i get belly ache after around 25g (irritable bowel syn…

don't get the racist joke...hope you are not being racist; i would be very disappointed.as for going to church, you don't have to sit next to anyone. keep a good distance.avoid hugs (just like an extended Holy Week, smile but no kiss).go mid week if…

i am very sorry some churches are doing this. COVID 19 has a MAX (more like 2%) 3% death rate, so i am very sad to hear small liturgies have been cancelled in some places.i understand people may postpone Bible studies and social events, but i disagr…

ok. what is a SAT? in the uk, it is a structured academic test that children do from age 9 - 13 (i think, i don't really know).i know you are an adult, so i assume it is more serious than that. i hope your teachers' fear will not last too long so yo…
