Survey of Orthodox Culture

1) What is the best part of a Baptism service? b. Singing \"As Many As Have Been Baptized\" *I\'m a big fan of our music in general, but especially when a group of priests is singing. I was at a baptism a few weeks ago where 8 or 9 priests were serving and this part of the service was beautiful. 2) What is the hymn sung most heartily by the faithful during the Divine Liturgy? a. Cherubic Hymn *Not necessarily the first half, but after the priest\'s entrance when the hymn is sped up a bit. 3) How did you become Orthodox? a. Raised in the Church b. Family became Orthodox *Combo of both...wasn\'t baptised Orthodox at birth, but family practiced and eventually my dad (who was Catholic) and I were Chrismated later. 4) What is the first thing you do when you step inside church? a. Make the sign of the cross 5) What is your top distraction in church? a. Kids crying *Kids screaming is much more distracting... 6) What is your top excuse for being late to church? d. Traffic *I-95 is a less than favorable way of getting to church 7) When do you normally get to church on Sunday? a. Matins *Technically Hours, considering I have to read them and my church(es) don\'t have Matins usually. 8) How many times per month do you attend church? e. more *usually Vespers/Divine Liturgy weekly, and then for any Feast Days if possible 9) What is your favorite service? d. Paschal Liturgy *Hands down! 10) In how many languages can you say Christ is Risen? e. 5 or more 11) Name the part of Orthodox worship that has helped you the most. b. hearing/doing chant *I would say attending Divine Liturgy/Holy Week and Pascha Services helped the most...but also becoming a Tonsured Reader has given me a new place in the Liturgy and Worship in the Church.
