I guess I'm the "man."  :o I think it is pretty usual for the school rules to say that you have to have natural colored hair.

"Assimilate" was the wrong word, I just mean that they reorganize into one church.  What is it that makes you guys laugh about the second paragraph I wrote?  (It's unlikely that it is going to make me upset, and I don't normally debate on forums; I lose interest too quickly I guess.) If we...

RE: The Western-Rite Orthodox Vicariate.  I think if it is God's will for the WR to exist in the Orthodox Church, it will survive the reorganization of the Orthodox jurisdictions, even if only by a single parish.  Also, we don't know that the OCA wouldn't accept them; I don't think they've ever...

If we were to start this now, I think the best path would be for jurisdictions to have there diocese lines run as close to one another as possible.  Then, as bishops died, you wouldn't replace them except with the oversight of another bishop(s) that already had parishes in that geographical...

It's just a little levity or tongue in cheek- made me laugh anyway.  As far as I know, the Greeks are the only ones who seem to have trouble getting priest; they are also the only ones who have psychological evaluations performed on those who want to be priest.

To be a priest, you have to be a little crazy.  No wonder the GOA seems to be short some priest.

Am I supposed to be doing this when I move to a new place?

I think the parishes in the South and in the plains are growing.  That is where my experience comes from.

Have you guys seen the swimsuits for Muslim women who want to stay covered.  I think it is called a burkini.

I think it would be safe to assume that for every Orthodox parish, there is about 1-2 converts per year.

:D  How did I end up the creator of this thread?

I was wondering if there would be any objections in the EO Church for an EO Christian using Oriental Orthodox icons of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. I think the Oriental look is just more appealing than the Byzantine style.  Of course, I already have icons, so I'm not going to rush out and...

Yes, but those who think they are always right are so annoying to those of us who really are!  :D

  My family was pentecostal, if this I can understand.  Consider this, preachers spend just as much on all their suits as a parish does on the vestments (and they are possibly used longer).  Elaborate worship spaces are also built to last.  While some look at Catholics (old school) and the...
