    Apology and inquiry

    Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I have not been on this forum in quite some time. I could go over all that has transpired since then that brought me here today, but there is not enough time in the day to do that so I will be as succinct as I can. My conduct on this forum the first time I...

    What on earth is the deal with leavened hosts???

    For some reason, I cannot find online anywhere what the leavened hosts (or "altar bread" as we call it, in our Church at least, before it is consecrated and becomes the Body of Christ) that are used for Western Orthodox Masses look like...like not one single picture of leavened altar bread...

    Who is content as an Eastern Catholic?

    I have heard from several people that becoming Eastern Catholic or joining one of the Eastern Catholic Churches was not really a permanent thing, but seems to be more of a stepping stone on the path to leaving the Catholic Church and entering the Eastern Orthodox Church. My question is, who all...

    Growth and development in the Eastern Orthodox Church

    I was looking at the OCA website yesterday, and I came across the following: "As the Church continues to live by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Tradition of the Church will continue to grow and develop. This process will go on until the establishment of the Kingdom of God at the...

    Prayers?

    I know you're not supposed to pray with the non-Orthodox, but perhaps you can at least pray for one. I've got some personal spiritual stuff going on right now (really it's been going on for awhile but it's getting worse) and I feel like I'm stuck in the desert without answers...so if you could...

    Eternity

    I was wanting to learn more about the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox view on eternity. How do you define it? The reason I ask is because the discussion on God's essence and energies and how that relates to theosis got me to thinking about the subject of eternity. As a former Protestant...

    Nihil obstats, imprimaturs, and such

    Since it seems that a great many on this forum (including even myself) do not have a proper understanding of the nihil obstat and the imprimatur, I thought it would be useful to have a thread to clear everything up. Fr. Ambrose pointed out to me, for instance, that the nihil obstat is not...

    Does the concept of ghosts fit into Orthodox theology?

    How does the Orthodox Church explain paranormal phenomena such as alleged hauntings, poltergeists, etc.? Are these ever actually the spirits of the departed, or is it simply trickery from Satan and the demons?

    Looking for Icons

    Where is a good place to find Icons to buy online? I checked Amazon but they do not seem to have anything. They have books on Icons and such as that but no actual Icons to purchase. I already have an Icon of Christ in my room but am wanting to greatly expand so that I have either an entire wall...

    Is there an Orthodox equivalent to the Knights of Columbus?

    I seem to remember hearing about a group similar to the Knights of Columbus that exists within Orthodoxy (I believe on this forum) but I cannot remember what it is called? Anyone know of a group like that?

    Is Orthodox-Catholic reunion on the horizon?

    Hi everyone. I realize this is a somewhat tongue in cheek format, but I am interested in hearing what everyone thinks and why. Everyone's feedback is welcome! If you select "other" I ask you to please explain, but anyone is free to tell how they voted and why if they want to.

    Scrupulosity

    In the Catholic Church, I hear a lot about people being scrupulous, which I have heard is essentially like religious OCD. I was wondering how common this is in the Orthodox Church? I would especially like to hear input from Priests if they can disclose any details without breaking the seal of...
