dear hinterlander, can you go to social events together? what about Bible studies? or even vespers? what is it she does not like? if she does not mind, see if you can go to one of the services next week; nearly all orthodox churches have extra services during Holy Week, and if she is not...

i am sometimes content when suffering, as the peace God gives makes it more than worthwhile. i say 'sometimes' as i need to work more on my spiritual life! the orthodox church recommends fasting, prayer and giving to the poor as tools for improving your spiritual life. this will help you to...

great point! :) (i suspect you are my long lost brother...) ;)

that's a relief! do you do them? (it's not me asking, it's your avatar!) ;)

happy birthday! also, seeing your avatar makes me want to ask something. what is the oldest age at which it is ok to show your friend's 8 year old how to do headstands? is there some time at which adults should stop doing that?

1. thanks for mentioning my favourite study Bible! :) 2. and about the Lord's prayer, you all should know that the original greek says 'our Father in the heavens'. so this is how i pray it when i use english: 'our Father in the heavens, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be...

ahh, i love saint athanasius :) i am so glad for you and your family that God lead you to safety. more about saint athanasius: http://www.copticchurch.net/synaxarium/9_7.html#1 we commemorate him next month; i wonder if your commemoration is around the same time?

wow, i am serbian and i didn't know it! ;) i celebrate my 'slava' today, and also on the date when i became orthodox. i was chrismated on the EO feast day of saint matthias, and his feast day in the coptic church is today, and so i remember him both days! i felt a special connection to him...

i think it's fine, eddybear. there are true believers in every church, so take your time about deciding what to do. once you become orthodox, you should stop doing it though, as you should obey those over you spiritually. 8)

eddybear, i 'prophesy' that you are going to buy a lottery ticket tonight, win and give me half the money. what?! you think i may have just made it up? how can you have such little faith?! a great and marvelous person like me must always be far closer to God than you are, i know because i say...

:o  :o  :o (mr. mabsoot adds 'why didn't they have that service in the mosque?!')
