Here we can discuss *the* book of the Church: the Bible! "This is why we have become so tepid in our faith: we no longer read the Scriptures as a whole. Rather, we select certain passages as being more clear and useful, and we say not a word about the rest. This is just how heresies are introduced: we have refused to read the entire Bible; we have declared certain parts to be essential and others secondary" (St John Chrysostom, Homily on ).

Daily words from Saints, Holy Fathers and Orthodox teachers sent out each day by Christopher Haas.

I learned this method in Bible college, taking extra classes. I was attracted to it because it does not lead one to the "Protestant" doctrines and it does not impose a false grid of interpretation upon the text. The Bible IS literature: a literary grid emerges from the text naturally.  I hope to find more people interested in this pursuit at a Bible as Literature conference this winter. This is not a Bible study group, per se. It is a group on one's findings as they study it as lit, and of how to do so.  Please share and  ask for resources.

Curious about a book you've seen but haven't read? Read a book you'd like to discuss? Oprah's got nothing on us! Welcome!

This group is designed for the parishioners of Metamorphosis Tou Sotiros Greek Orthodox Church in Toronto, Canada, to participate in our weekly Bible Study/Catechism classes, but anyone else is free to join and participate. The books we are using are from the series The Orthodox Faith by Fr. Thomas Hopko, found online at: http://www.oca.org/OCorthfaith.asp?SID=2 Classes are held every Tuesday, therefore questions, comments and discussions on the lesson of the week may be posted on the Tuesday of the lesson up to and including the following Monday. Every Tuesday there is a new class and therefore a new series of discussions begins.

For those who are studying or have read Unseen Warfare, a classic holy writing on living a spiritual life, and would like to discuss its lessons. "This spiritual classic was written by Lorenzo Scupoli, a sixteenth-century Venetian priest. Immensely popular in its own day, it was ranked by Francis de Sales with the Imitation of Christ. In the general rapport between Western and Eastern Christendom, it reached Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, who first recognized its immense spiritual worth, and later, in the nineteenth century, Theophan the Recluse, both of whom edited and translated the work."

A private circle for the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology Class of 2013.

This is an extension of the established FB group of the same name. We are a group for Eastern Orthodox women who share an interest in headcovering. Most of us cover our heads during church services. Some of us cover our heads full-time. Some of us don't cover at all, except when the weather is cold, but would like to learn more, or need support to start. We also talk about recipes for Lent, prayer requests, saints, parenting, asceticism, dogs and cats, jobs, and many other things. (But not politics. It's too hard for some of us to be charitable when politics comes up. And charity is absolutely required.) We do not accept men into the group, nor businesses, nor women who are not Orthodox (communicants, catechumens, and women who are prayerfully considering whether they wish to join the Holy Orthodox Church are all welcome). These limits are not because we don't love you, but because we need a place where we can let our hair down and talk freely amongst ourselves. If you want to join the group, and you meet our requirements, please send a message to an admin.

This group is for lovers of traditional Orthodox church architecture, be it Byzantine, Russian, or any other tradition. It is for the discussion of traditional church architecture, construction techniques and materials used. Everyone is invited to join, load images of beautiful churches as well as share exciting news about new construction.

This group is to discuss anything related to modest clothing for both males and females.

"Following the holy Fathers" is a phrase commonly used by the Local and Ecumenical Councils of the Church to introduce their doctrinal decrees. In our opposition to the modern heresies of ecumenism, liberalism, socialism, relativism, humanism, cultural Marxism, we turn to the tradition of the holy Fathers for faith, principles, and understanding of the Divine Scriptures. In our discussion of the great issues of our day, we shall not transgress the landmarks erected by the inspired Fathers. Naturally, this implies that we adhere to the proclmations and canons of the Church of which they were the "new prophets." Please be aware that this group is a traditional Orthodox group, and although we do not exclude anyone from contributing to the discussion, our intention is to be faithful to the Holy Fathers---knowing that they are infalable mouthspieces inspired of the Holy Spirit. Here we do not question their authority, neither do we take their teachings as outdated or anachronistic. No private interpretation is allowed by anyone. We understand them in terms of Scripture, the councils, the canons and iconography.

Far in the mountains of Caucasus, in Georgia, 2200 m above the sea level is located the ancient monastery of Lomisa St. George. Nowadays Elder Serapion lives there. He is well known for his healing power, but his best description would be the Teacher of the Jesus Prayer. Whoever dreams to learn this amazing practice should go and see him.

This group is for anyone who supports Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville and has been affected by the many holy hierarchs and monks who have been a part of its brotherhood.

Advices on how to live a life which can lead to SALVATION.

Hello Everyone!   I'll just begine by giving a brief summary about myself. I was born into a predominantely Muslim Palestinian family where we regularly practised our faith from a young age, learnt Quran and attended Islamic School. I was deeply religious throughout my teen years and never saw any issue with my Islamic faith. However, recently I have been drifting away from my faith - I have been having doubts about the Quran and have a lot of disagreemets with the doctrine of Islam especially when it came women. I have also developed an interest in Orthodox Christianity. My interest in this began several years when my family and I travelled to Palestine and visited several Orthodox monasteries. As a result I became intrigued by the worship of Orthodox Christians and wanted to find out more about the faith. It is not until very recently, when I started university, that I have begun to reserach the Orthodox faith especially with the decline of my Islamic faith. I do not personally know anyone who is Orthodox and that is why I have joined this site. I hope to meet members of the Orthodox community in Sydney and get a better grasp of the Orthodox faith.

Senator Rand Paul, M.D. is one of the nation’s leading advocates for liberty. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Dr. Paul has proven to be an outspoken champion for constitutional liberties and fiscal responsibility. As a fierce advocate against government overreach, Rand has fought tirelessly to return government to its limited, constitutional scope. The Senator was one of the few to advocate about the two Orthodox Bishops on national television and his Reganesque diplomacy-first foreign policy would be in direct contrast to past Presidents who have had a less than favorable, and even, agressive position towards Orthodox peoples.

The small sub choir of St. Hermans

This is a page dedicated to Saint Kassiani, the 9th Century Byzantine abbess, poet, composer, and hymnographer.  St Kassiani's secular name is Kassia.  Her saint name has a variation of spellings:   Kassiane, Kassiani, Casia, Ikasia, Cassia, Cassiane, Kassiana, or Eikasia.   St Kassiane's feast day is September 7, and she is also remembered on the Sunday of Orthodoxy for her part in the defense of the holy icons.  St Kassiane is one of the first medieval composers whose scores are both extant and able to be interpreted by modern scholars and musicians.  Sometimes Hildegard von Bingen is credited by Western scholars with being the first, but since St. Kassiane lived two centuries before her, it is St. Kassiane who is indeed the first.  Approximately fifty of St Kassiane's hymns are extant and twenty-three are included in Orthodox Church liturgical books. The exact number is difficult to assess, as many hymns are ascribed to different authors in different manuscripts and are often identified as anonymous.   In addition, some 789 of her non-liturgical verses survive. Many are epigrams or aphorisms called "gnomic verse", for example, "I hate the rich man moaning as if he were poor."   In acadamia, St. Kassiane is notable as one of only two Byzantine women to write in their own names during the middle ages.

Most glorious art Thou, Christ our God Who didst establish our Father Patrick as the Enlightener of the Irish and a torch-bearer on earth, and through him didst guide many to the true Faith. Most Compassionate One, glory to Thee.

Welcome to the Western Orthodox Communion! Welcome to this space for sharing information, thoughts, articles, links, and other resources about life in the Communion of Western Orthodox Churches! At present, the communion comprises the French Orthodox Church, the Celtic Orthodox Church, and the Orthodox Church of the Gauls, and has monasteries, parishes, and missions in France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Poland, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States of America. Everybody is welcome to participate who has an interest in Orthodox Christianity in its Western liturgical, spiritual, and cultural expression, through which the lands of the West were hallowed by the saints who worked out their salvation here in ancient times. We only ask that you abide by our three simple rules: We are Christians.  Please remember that behind the words on the screen is a human being, made in the image of God, and let us treat each other accordingly. Canonicity means faithfulness to the Apostolic Tradition - nothing more; nothing less. The partisan dismissal as "uncanonical" or "not Orthodox" of Orthodox jurisdictions that are faithful to the Orthodox liturgical, spiritual, patristic, scriptural, and canonical Tradition, simply because they are not subordinate to particular, larger jurisdictions, is not accepted practice here. This is a place for discussing various aspects of life in the Communion of Western Orthodox Churches.  Posts illustrating how the Orthodox Faith is lived in a western expression in other jurisdictions are welcomed, insofar as they provide inspiration and an example of what is possible locally; as are those expressing the universal Orthodox Tradition, provided they may be of spiritual benefit.  If your post does not meet these criteria, please consider whether another group might be a better place for it.

Orthodoxy grew and thrived in times where village life was the most common human experience of society: human-scaled, personable, with a sense of stability and permanence. Perhaps the most under rated challenges confronting the life of the Church today are the atomizing and anonymizing forces that minimize familiar personal human interaction. (We don't even know our own neighbors!) Orthodoxy in America, unfortunately like many other churches, is now characterized by commuter culture. New Urbanism is a movement that seeks to return the built environment from the post-war forms prioritizing automobiles to older walkable ones scaled and designed for people. In more village-like communities with robust social networks, Orthodoxy could much better take root organically.

This circle is for all Orthodox military from all over the world. Any service is welcome.

If you are an Orthodox Christian, and a truck driver, or have a family member who is a truck driver, or you just like  truck drivers, this is the  group for you!! Also, share pictures and stories about your adventures out on the road.

If 40 people attend Sunday Liturgy at your church, and it feels like a huge crowd, this group is for you. Small churches have unique problems - every 4th week, you have to sign up to host coffee hour again; your youth group has a hard time finding exciting activities for only 3 kids; if 2 of the ladies can't make it to an event, it's not worth having; you're exhausted because there are so few people do the work; etc... Let's share our struggles, coping skills, hopes and dreams, and plans for growth! (Thank you, ee cummings, for the inspiration for the name of this group.)

On November 10th, Father Alexios Marakis was lost in Tampa, FL and seeking directions when Lance CPL. Jasen D. Bruce brutally assaulted him with a tire iron. The priest tried to run away from Jasen, but he was chased for three blocks and was eventually pinned. Jasen Bruce was arrested and charged with Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was released on $7,500 bond. Now, Father Alexios is being falsely accused of sexually assaulting Jasen Bruce. Father Alexios said he didnt want to press charges against his attacker, but forgive him. He was shocked later when he learned of the allegations of sexual assault being made against him. Please remember Father Alexios in your prayers.
