What to make of this article... http://www.vanityfair.com/business/features/2010/10/greeks-bearing-bonds-201010 After an hour on a plane, two in a taxi, three on a decrepit ferry, and then four more on buses driven madly along the tops of sheer cliffs by Greeks on cell phones, I rolled up to...

Folks, Just wanted to let all of you know, that we made it back to Canada safe and sound.  There was one stretch of road where it got pretty ugly, but amazingly, my car stayed on the road, performance tires and all.  Thanks to all of you for your thoughful prayers.

Hey folks.  As many know, I'm in the process of relocating back to Canada and I'm doing the trip in three parts.  The first drive was the entire family, which went off without a hitch, thank God.  We settled the kids in with my parents, stayed in Toronto for a couple of days and came back to NJ...

OL, Keep in mind that whatever you may have read, may have been put in print for a specific purpose (ie: creating divisions between parties that don't exist in reality). I cannot imagine the EP or the Church of Greece willfully wanting to break communion with us.  Would it be the first time we...

Brate, I'm not exactly sure of the process to elect Patriarch Pavle's predecessor.  I read recently that the Synod pick 3 or 4 candidates and essentially "pick from a hat".  Is that true or is their voting or any reliable articles outlining the process. Maybe Serb1389 knows the process if you...

Interesting that +Artemije doesn't even warrant mention.

Well, I put this into the religious section to avoid "liberal crackhead" type comments so I suppose I'll let the mods handle it they way they see fit, as the appropriate response would be to state the obvious regarding Kosovo recognition. The fact is, Serbia and the SOC is under attack, by whom...

Serbian Orthodox Church faces key decision       Tanner Adam Tanner – Sat Nov 8, 9:16 pm ET BELGRADE (Reuters) – Four months after Serbia swore in a pro-Europe government in a move away from its nationalist past, the Serbian Orthodox Church is deciding whether to stick to its hardline course or...

Well, maybe that's just because they think no respect is due! LOL

It is what it is.

Well, I've highlighted this point only because I think this is the point where "western" Orthodox Christians get a pass (as compared to ethnic Orthodox).  First, it is a simple case of semantics, which makes a big difference in practice.  You say that you probably go over board with "patriotism"...

Interesting times ahead.

Just another attempt by a psycho liberal the enslave us with socialism! LOL Actually I totally agree and it is interesting to see the same polarization happen in Canada.  It's as though the politicians can't think on their own, so they use the US playbook, which is then absorbed by the masses.

Listen, I'd much rather the Synod assemble an army and try to take back Constantinople, but that ain't gonna happen any time soon, so I don't see anything wrong with some good old fashioned tree hugging.

  Well done Bob!!!  Excellent post.

SS99 witholding an opinion until the hotness of the women is determined.  :o

I'm very puzzled by what is going on here. Stashko and OL are discussing issues which are VERY real to our people.  Who knows, maybe even some of their family members were "liquidated" under the watchful eye of RC clergy during WWII.  Maybe some of their families had their fortunes stolen...

Bravo Brate!!!! Excellent post, but this part made me stand up and give you a standing ovation.  100% right... wolf in sheeps clothing. Quote edited to reflect changes to post quoted

In all honesty, I'm not sure I understand your response but I can I assure you my question is genuine, as I think much of the debate about anti-semitism pertains to semantics.  When you said "my Jewish best friend", I'm not sure if you are talking about me, or if it is something we just share in...

SiviSokol,     I'm just curious about your definition of what constitutes anti-semetic and anti-semitism in general.  Do you feel that the Gospel of Matthew and Matthew 27:24-25 in particular are "anti-semetic"?
